Angeles Dy Baptista's Obituary
Angeles “Naty or Angie” Dy Baptista, age 85, of Aiea, Hawaii, went to heaven on April 23, 2019. She was born in Tubao, La Union, Philippines, on October 2, 1933, to Juan Dy Yat Lai and Paula Rivera.
Angie moved her family to Hawaii in May 1969 to join her husband. She worked for the Ala Moana Hotel and retired after 25 years. While working, Angie received her real estate and broker’s license; and started her own business Baptista, Inc. in 1983. A year later, she and her friend Dolores Ortal opened up Baptista-Ortal Realty, Inc. Angie had great faith in God and was active, intelligent, and hard working. Her friends and family describe her as kind, giving, generous, compassionate and accommodating. She always prepared delicious baked goods and food to give to many of her friends, relatives, co-workers and clients. She adored her grandchildren. Whether they were in Hawaii or she was visiting them, one of her great joys was cooking for the kids and watching them devour her food.
Angie was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Carolina Dy Bernardino, and her brother, Rafael Dy. Angie is survived by her husband of 60 years, Petronio “Pete”; her son, Nick and his wife, Teresa, of Boise, Idaho; her daughter, Nita and her husband Paul Nowakowski of Pleasanton, California; and her daughter, Maria Lourdes; her six grandchildren: Jordan, Keenan, Brandan, and Jaiman Baptista, Kristen and Preston Nowakowski; her sister, Ernestina Gencianeo of Cavite, Philippines; numerous nieces, nephews, and dear friends that had become family.
