Arcenia Q Pader's Obituary
Arcenia Pader
April 18th, 1934 - July 8th, 2026
Arcenia Pader spent a lifetime making sure no one went home hungry. She passed away in Honolulu, HI, leaving a warm space at every table she once filled.
Born in Santa Ilocos, Philippines, Arcenia grew up in a close-knit family that valued caring for one another. Those early lessons stayed with her for ninety-two years.
Cooking was her favorite joy. Family and friends still smile when they recall how she always had food made to feed everyone, often before they even asked.
Her loved ones remember her as kind, supportive, and patient. Each meal she prepared was a quiet sign of the steady love that guided her life.
Arcenia is held in gentle memory by her sister, Pacita Tuason, and her nephew, Rudy Pader. They carry forward the simple lesson she showed every day: love is best shared, one welcoming plate at a time.
We will keep her spirit close whenever a kitchen fills with familiar scents and easy laughter. Rest well, Arcenia, and thank you for every comforting bite and every steady word.
