Obituary of Reynosa Amparo

With deep affection, we share the passing of Reynosa Camunias Oca Amparo, lovingly known as ‘Inay’ or Auntie Rey, who left us peacefully on February 13, 2025, surrounded by family at her bedside at Lakeridge Health Ajax.

Born in Victoria, Laguna, Philippines, on November 27, 1947, to Julian Herradura Oca and Cornelia Rebong Camunias, Reynosa was the second of eight siblings. She grew up with her sisters Normita, Myrla, Rosemarie, and her brothers Paulino, Ting Ishmael, Jerry, and Joseph, and shared a close-knit bond with them throughout her life.

Reynosa graduated from Liceo de Pila High School and immigrated to Canada in April of 1974. Her career journey led her into office management, where she worked with dedication and care.

Her heart found its true companion when she met Moises Exconde Amparo Jr., and in 1975, they were united in marriage in a simple, yet beautiful ceremony in Midland, Ontario. Together, they built a loving family, raising two wonderful children, Alvin and Aaron.

Reynosa’s legacy will forever be remembered for her unwavering love, kindness, and selfless service to others. Her devotion to her church was a cornerstone of her life, and she dedicated herself to studying the Bible daily, sharing her faith and love with all around her.

Our family is deeply grateful to the staff at Lakeridge Health Ajax, along with the PSWs and caregivers who brought comfort and care to her in her final days.

Family and friends are invited to join us in celebrating Reynosa’s life:
