Obituary For Carolina Renol Urbi

Born on January 14th, 1930, to Cipriano and Anacleta, in San Narciso, Central Luzon, Philippines and entered into rest on December 15th, 2016 in Newark, California at the age of 86. She is survived by her sister, Lenore, who resides in Maui, Hawaii and by her 7 children, 23 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. Shortly after the end of World War II, after completing her studies to become an elementary school teacher, she met Patricio Urbi, a sailor in the United States Navy. Carolina chose to marry Patricio on September 14, 1950, thus starting a shared adventure in life. As a military wife, she traveled from station to station, from Guam to finally settling in San Leandro, California. Like many other Filipina military wives, she and others like herself, formed a network of comadres and compadres to support and share the burdens of living in a new country and raising children in a new, American culture. Carolina and Patricio, shared in their trials of shaping new lives in a new country. Carolina enjoyed the company of friends and family. With comadres and compadres, Carolina and Patricio became one of the founding members of the Magsingal Association of Northern California and the San Narciso Association of the Bay Area. Carolina and Patricio both enjoyed traveling and visiting new places around the world. Carolina and Patricio participated in many group travel tours to Africa, Europe, Eastern Europe, China, Southeast Asia, and the Caribbean. In 2005, Carolina and Patricio became fair weather birds, flying and staying in the Philippines for extended periods of time. Where they would stay in Magsingal or San Narciso, then fly back home to Santa Rosa. In January of 2014, Patricio suffered a major stroke while in Magsingal and passed at the age of 89. Carolina returned to California to reside in her home in Newark, California with her Grandson, Chance Urbi Collum and Granddaughter Melissa Ong, her husband Christian and great granddaughter Abigail. She would attend family events (her personal chauffeur, her granddaughter Jocelyn), garden and enjoy the company of her children, grandchildren. great-grandchildren, comadres/compadres, nieces and nephews. She will be remembered for her quiet nature. Her personal resolve when facing new and challenging situations. She was very supportive, loving, and patient with all her children, nephews and nieces...especially, her husband. Carolina's travel begins again with Patricio. For they are reunited with each other, their friends and relatives who have gone before them. We will miss her, but rejoice in our memory of her life that she shared with all of us in faith, love and happiness.
