Anabella Robleza Obituary (1947 - 2026)

With a heart as warm as the tropical sun of her native Iloilo City, Anabella Manzano Robleza offered light and love to everyone she met. Born on January 26, 1947, in the Philippines, Anabella's life journey led her to Dover, New Jersey, where she touched countless hearts with her radiant spirit. Affectionately known as 'Bella' to her family and friends, she was a beacon of resilience, joy, and unwavering kindness until her peaceful passing on March 31, 2026. Never one to seek the limelight, Anabella's selfless nature and generosity were her defining traits. In her professional life, she was a dedicated and hardworking employee, whose diligence and commitment earned her respect and admiration from her colleagues. Retirement did not dim her vibrant spirit; instead, it allowed her more time to focus on her passions, her family, and her community. Anabella remained a steadfast figure in her family's lives, nurturing and cherishing the bonds with her many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. She was a beloved sister to Melchorita Espinosa, Leticia Odchgue, Rolando Robleza, Erlinda Calunsod, Ramona Lim, Rudolfo Robleza, Gilia Arcala, and Elizabeth Glaraga. Anabella was a shining example of the adage, 'family is not an important thing, it's everything.' She was a pillar of strength, guiding her loved ones with her wisdom and unconditional love. Anabella was preceded in death by her parents, Conrado Robleza and Salud Manzano. Her spirit lives on in the hearts of her surviving siblings and the myriad of young lives she positively impacted. As we bid farewell to Anabella, we honor the richness of her life and the profound influence she had on those around her.
