It is with great sadness that the family of Leonara “Nara” Padillo Auguis announce her sudden passing at the Galloway Health Centre, Oxbow on Monday, February 12, 2024 at the age of 47 years old.

Nara was born on October 9, 1976 in Gaus Island, Bohol, Philippines. She is the eldest among the family. Her schooling started at Gaus Elementary School then Camambugan Elementary School. She finished her high school and proceeded to college at the University of Cebu.

As she grew older, Nara experienced the difficulties of life on the island seeing her family struggle, so she decided to quit school and go work abroad. At the age of 19, she found work overseas in Taiwan for 3 years to earn a better salary and following this position decided to go back home. Seven years later, she again become an overseas foreign worker as a Domestic Helper in Hong Kong. While in Hong Kong, she applied for a job in Canada as a Caregiver.

Nara got the job in Canada, and with the help of her employer, Susan Mckennitt, she was able to support her family, sending all seven of her siblings to university to obtain a degree.

Her first job here in Carnduff was as nanny to Tasha’s kids (Susan’s grandkids). After working for a few years as a nanny, Susan trained Nara to work in her office. This working relationship would become a friendship and lasted to Nara’s final days.

PSALM 23

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
