Our beloved mother, Cypress Manulat Lazarte, age 95, was called to rest on August 27, 2018, in Honolulu, Hawaii. We will remember her smile, her warmth, her energy, her laughter, and her love. She was born on May 1, 1923 in the Province of Danao, on the Island of Cebu, Republic of the Philippines.

She was the youngest daughter of five children. Although her life wasn’t easy, she worked hard and enjoyed life to the fullest.

She worked for many years in housekeeping, and was a valued employee at the Outrigger Hotels under Doc Kelly. Because she worked very hard and saved wisely, she was able to retire at the age of 55.

This gave her the opportunity to pursue her love of traveling. Her pilgrimages took her to the Vatican (Rome), Lourdes (France), Fatima (Portugal) and Guadalupe (Mexico). She also made many trips to visit her family in Cebu. There were also trips to the Mainland to visit family (her son), and friends. Her favorite place was Las Vegas! She would spend hours on the penny and nickel machines.

She was a long-time member of the Balaan Catalina Society. Our late father, John Santinitigan Lazarte born in Carcar, Cebu, was a founding member. She continued his legacy by serving the community with this organization.

Final Visitation will be at 9:30 AM and the service will follow at 10:30 AM. Blessing will follow. Crypt-side service will take place where she will be laid to rest.

We love you very much, MOM, and will miss you dearly.
See you in Heaven.
