Honoring the life of our beloved mother

With profound sadness, we share the passing of our beautiful mother, Joan Bufanda, who left us on August 9, 2025.

She was the heart and anchor of our family, a woman who lived her life selflessly and fully for her children and grandchildren. Her love was unwavering, her strength unmatched, and her joy came from seeing her family happy and cared for. Every moment spent with us was filled with warmth, support, and unconditional love.

We are creating this GoFundMe to help with the unexpected memorial expenses as we honor her life. During this time of grief, any contribution, large or small, will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this page or keeping our family in your prayers.

Thank you for your love, kindness, and support during this difficult time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Desiree, Robert, Erica, and Pete Anthony
