She also worked for Land Bank of the Philippines for over 10 years, where she built and sustained many friendships. Lourdes independently immigrated to Winnipeg, Canada on July 30, 1995 with her husband and three children at the time. And, in 1996, she gave birth to her youngest daughter, Karen, who brought great joy to the family. She worked at Western Glove Works, Technical Products International (TPI) and then, worked in Vansco Electronics, now Parker Hannifin, for 16 years.

She faithfully attended Gawain every Sunday and attended annual anniversaries held in Los Angeles, California. Her faith and her love for the Lord was witnessed by so many people. She was a living testimony that the Lord really works in ways we cannot see. She's known to be one of the most genuine, loving, thoughtful, and generous people you will ever meet in your lifetime.
