Caroline Cabanilla Guzman
January 3, 1968 – October 13, 2016

Once diagnosed with colorectal cancer 4 years ago, Caroline never gave up. She never complained, and fought courageously while maintaining a brave and cheerful face. Through the countless radiation and chemotherapy treatments, x-rays, doctor visits, hospitalizations, and pain, she battled cancer with a positive outlook of a more optimistic future. Through it all, she continued to raise her two children and was devotedly involved in their lives. Caroline’s grandson brought more joy to her life and she loved being his “Mama Carol.” Before her illness Caroline was a capable tennis player and an energetic walker. She loved the kitchen and would whip up the most delicious, home-filling meal. She loved her family to no end and enjoyed “talking stories.” Caroline, in every way, was the most loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, and aunty. Caroline was a Sr. Bank Teller at Territorial Savings Bank on Maui.

She is survived by her husband, Nelson Guzman; children, Charles (Aileen Ferrer) Guzman, and Shayla Mae Guzman; grandson, Lucas Reid Guzman; parents, Vicente and Criselda Cabanilla; siblings, Catherine (Alvin) Sato, Meryam (Brian) Leong, Vilma (Rolando) Ong, and Juvy (Elven) Ventura; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Feliciano and Clarita Guzman.

Visitation will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 28, 2016 at St. Anthony Church in Wailuku, prayer service will begin at 8:30 p.m.
