Under the cold spell of winter, Edmontonians celebrated the New Year, but one family celebrated the end of 2017 for another very special reason. On New Year’s Eve, Filipino-Canadian Natalia Aseron celebrated a significant birthday milestone by turning 100 years old.

Natalia Aseron is the matriarch of her family. A wonderful Grandma with two incredible children, sixteen amazing grandchildren, thirty-four marvelous great-grandchildren and thirteen awesome great-great-grandchildren, Natalia Aseron was born on Dec. 31, 1917 in Bacolod, Philippines. She moved to Batangas, Philippines in her mid-teens and was married to a very popular Batangueno politician at the time. She relocated to Canada in 1985.

She had two children but outlived them both. Her husband passed away roughly 60 years ago. Natalia has 16 grandchildren and 37 great-grandchildren living throughout Canada, the U.S. and the Philippines.

Her passions involve caring for her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren. Up until two years ago, she lived alone in a condo with a caregiver. She moved to a nursing home in late 2015.
Our congratulations to Natalia on this momentous milestone in her life.
