Nenita R.

Nenita, aged 75, passed away peacefully on July 26, 2026, in New York, NY. Born on March 20, 1951, in the Philippines, she was a devoted Catholic who faithfully attended the daily online mass of the Jesus Nazareno at Quiapo Church in the Philippines. Known affectionately by her family as "The Boss," Nenita was a natural born leader who helped take care of her siblings during her early years.

Prior to moving to the United States, she was a hardworking entrepreneur who owned several businesses such as restaurants, retail stores, ready-to-wear clothing, printing press and real estate. Then, she dedicated 15 years of her life with Estee Lauder at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City, where she earned international recognition as a two-time number one top producer in the world. Her passion for beauty and her commitment to her profession was matched only by her devotion to her family.

Nenita is survived by the loving father of her children, Toribio; her sons, Andrew and August; her daughters, Ally and Angel; and her beloved grandson, Vash.

A visitation will be held on August 1, 2026, from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Halpin - Bitecola Brookdale Funeral and Cremation Service, located at 1284 Broad Street, Bloomfield, NJ 07003. Family and friends are welcome to gather and celebrate the life of this remarkable woman who touched many lives with her leadership, love, and grace.
