Hello, we are Jeremy, Mary, and Shantelle, the kids of the beloved Araceli (Aries) La Madrid Serafin.

We are deeply saddened to share that Aries passed away on February 9, 2022 at 11:17 PM PT.  Aries' life was one of complete generosity - of her time, energy, love, and intelligence. She was always eager to invite others to share in any of her blessings. Before she passed, her wishes were to help advance women's education. For over two decades, Aries served as a Professor of Clinical Nursing for multiple universities and a Director of Training and Education for several hospitals. She devoted her life to educating and training the next generation of healthcare professionals. Please join us in honoring her life and legacy by making a donation. Our goal is to raise $20,000 for her high school alma mater, Stella Maris College in Quezon City, Philippines to create scholarships for girls. Any donations beyond the goal will be used for the memorial services.

Donations can be made here or via Venmo @Mary-Serafin (Last four #s: 6187). Please share this fundraiser and help us bring Aries' dreams and wishes to life.

With love, 
The Serafin Family
