Nunila C. (Nila) Palad, 68, of Nanuet, New York, passed away on August 3rd in Nyack, New York.

The youngest of eight, Nila was born in Unisan, Quezon to Magdalena and Quinciano on October 17th, 1956. She earned her bachelor’s degree in banking and finance from Central Escolar University in 1981. Nila moved to the United States in 1988 and worked as a personal banker for 35 years. She enjoyed spending time with her husband, children, and dog, Penny, cooking, listening and dancing to music, taking care of her plants, and traveling to explore new experiences and visit family members around the world. As a faithful Born-Again Christian, Nila was an active member in her church community at Gracepoint Gospel Fellowship in New City, New York. She dedicated her life to loving and serving the Lord.

Nila is survived by her husband, Marcelino (Lino), with whom she preciously shared 36 years of loving marriage. She is also survived by her three children, Clyde, Emmanuel (EJ), and Vianne, who will carry her strong, compassionate, and joyful spirit with them always. Nila is further survived by her sisters, Lucing and Pilette, as well as her big, beautiful extended family.

In honoring Nila’s life, we celebrate her generosity, perseverance, fiery spirit, and loyal service to the Lord.

Her family is comforted knowing that she is happy, healthy, and at peace with the Lord.
