Benedicta (aka Bening) was born in Bocagan Hills, Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines on December 29, 1923, as the second child of Bautista Comahig & Ana Borres who were in the wholesale business of copra and tobacco. She married Eugenio Concha, a teacher and had 3 young daughters.
She became a widow at the age of 25. She re-married, this time to Luis Toledo Domingo, a Philippine Navy captain and had 9 more children. They lived in the same house at 121 K-3rd, Kamuning, Quezon City, Philippines where most children were born and raised until the family immigrated to Canada in 1978. Bening was 55 years old. They lived in the house occupied until now at 847 W.67th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia. She became a widow again in 1997.
Bening was mainly a homemaker, but had short stints as a teacher, a bagel shop worker, and a resthome worker at Louis Brier Home. She will always be remembered as a great cook. Her children treasured the daily abundant foods served and the sweet aroma in their kitchen. Being active in Kamuning churches, Filipino Baptist & Alliance churches and Vancouver Diamond Society, friends and relatives took delight in the amazing cakes she baked for special occasions.
A sweet, joyful, and caring person, Bening loved food, travel and people. But sadness came when the Lord took two daughters who lived in California; Maria Ana Carvajal (1999) in Los Angeles and Virginia Mijares (2017) in San Francisco.
Having lived a long life of 98 years is God’s blessing. A greater blessing is to have 13 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren from her 12 children. But the greatest blessing of all is Jesus Christ; a legacy she hoped will resonate even after death…
So thankful to our God for our beloved Mama/Lola. So grateful for your kind words, love and support.
From us all, God bless you!
