With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Annabella Cabreza Paras on May 10, 2026. It is a profound tribute that she was laid into rest on Mother’s Day, reflecting her unwavering devotion to her family and her deep connection to Mama Mary.

Bella was the heart of her family: A devoted wife to Jun, a beloved mother to Abigail, and a dear mother-in-law to Miguel. Her life was defined by quiet strength and a selfless love that knew no distance. Whether calling family in the Philippines and the USA, sharing her favorite treats from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and filipino desserts, or checking in on her Families for Christ community; Bella’s generosity was constant.

A humble servant and dedicated prayer warrior, Bella used her gift for music and the tambourine to serve the Lord. We find peace in knowing she is now dancing and singing in heaven, reunited with her loved ones. Bella’s grace and profound love will be cherished forever. She will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
