It is with heavy hearts and profound respect that we announce the passing of our beloved Nelie Israel, affectionately known as "Nel," who departed this world peacefully at home on April 12, 2026, at the age of 69. Born on June 24, 1956, in the picturesque Cagayan Valley, Nel's life was a tapestry of love, kindness, and dedication that touched all who knew her. Nel was a beacon of warmth and compassion, whose presence was a constant source of comfort and joy to her family and friends. She was predeceased by her cherished family member, Domingo Israel, whose memory she held dear throughout her life. Nel's legacy of love continues to flourish in her surviving family members: Randy Olivas, Razel Olivas, and Elvira Olivas, who were the centerpieces of her world. Her devotion to her family was unwavering, and she cherished every moment spent with them, drawing immense joy and pride from their achievements and happiness. Blessed with two grandchildren, Nel's heart was a reservoir of affection and guidance, nurturing the young lives with wisdom and tenderness. Her grandchildren were a source of immense pride and joy, each visit and call filling her days with laughter and love. Nel's life will be celebrated and remembered during a service on April 24, 2026, at 3:35 PM at St. Peter Chapel. This service will be a tribute to a life well-lived, where family and friends will gather to honor Nel's memory, sharing stories of her kindness, her unwavering strength, and her selfless spirit. As we bid farewell to a remarkable woman, we are reminded of the indelible mark she has left on our hearts. Nel was a woman of grace and resilience, whose life was a testament to the power of love and the importance of family. Her legacy will live on in the lives of those she touched. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Nel's memory to a charity close to her heart, embodying her spirit of giving and compassion. Nelie Israel, our beloved Nel, will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her life was a blessing, her memory a treasure. She was loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.
