Mrs. Paz Demonteverde of Streamwood

Paz Demonteverde, 90, of Schaumburg, Illinois. Paz Cruz Demonteverde was born in Cabcaben, Limay, Bataan, on April 15, 1935, and returned to the loving embrace of God on December 29, 2025. She earned her Collegiate Secretarial degree from FEATI University in 1957 and worked as a Municipal Clerk soon after. In 1960, she married Noel Demonteverde, whom she met while he was working as a mechanical engineer at Bataan Refining Corporation. Paz and Noel were blessed with five children, four of whom they lovingly raised: Ariel, Hoss, Fatima, and Ceil; one child passed in infancy. To support her family, Paz built and operated a successful mini department store in Limay, Bataan for over a decade, instilling in her children an entrepreneurial spirit, the value of customer service, and the importance of shared responsibility in building a strong household. While her husband worked abroad, Paz managed the home, raised her children, ran the family business, and oversaw the construction of another home in Quezon, City, Philippines. Quiet and calm in nature, she demonstrated remarkable strength and resilience throughout her life. She later moved to the United States to be with her children, living in Queens, New York before settling in Streamwood, Illinois in 2002. She worked at Sam’s Club and Costco and remained active in the church and community. A woman of deep faith, Paz was a devoted member of the St. John the Evangelist Asian Ministry choir and Couples for Christ Handmaids of the Lord. Survived by her loving children, Ariel (Jannette), Hoss (Teresita), Fatima (Joannes), and Ceil (Gino); cherished grandmother of Arianne, Jadee, Hanz (Allan), Shea (Santiago), Hess, Seth, Gabrielle, Millicent, and Joshua; and great-grandmother to Eloise and Theo. She will be remembered for her quiet strength, steadfast faith, and enduring love for her family. Family and friends will meet on Friday, January 2, 2026 at St. Peter Damian Church, 131 S.
