Gracia Pacana

It is with great sadness that the family of Gracia Pacana shares the news of her passing on Wednesday, October 11th after almost a yearlong battle with cancer at the age of 78.

Grace was born the 7th of 10 kids to Angela and Faustino Fortun on May 16, 1940 in Butuan City, Agusan Province, Philippines. She graduated from the University of the Philippines with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Home Economics. She had a passion for sewing and spending time with family - especially her granddaughters, and sharing her time and talents with her church family. She’ll be the one in heaven negotiating for a better place in line.

She is survived by her husband of 50 years, Ronaldo; daughters Angel Pacana (Jeffrey), Maya Pacana-Bredenkamp (Shea) and Josephine (Jason) Clinton, granddaughters, Violet, Alex and Lily, brothers and sisters-in-law Ben (Claire) Fortun and Luis (Aurora) Fortun, sister and brother-in-law Irene (Pablo) Yabut; many extended family members and friends.



Memorial donations may be made to Ron Pacana and will be disbursed among two charities Grace selected.
