Dolores Alcantara Albovias
May 29, 1908 – March 31, 2016
On March 31, 2016, Dolores Alcantara Albovias, passed away peacefully at her home in San Francisco. She was 107 years old, just two months shy of her 108th birthday.
Dolores was born on May 29, 1908, in Bangued, Abra, Philippines. She became a teacher at the age of 17 in Bangued and eventually moved to Manila to teach and start her own rice and raw tobacco businesses. Dolores eventually emigrated to the U.S. in 1965 where she earned her Master's Degree in Education at San Francisco State University. In 1967, she earned lifetime teaching credentials and became one of SFUSD's first Filipino teachers. Dolores continued to teach grade school until 2000, at the age of 92. Aside from teaching, Dolores invested in real estate throughout the Bay Area, which included several care homes. She also helped many new immigrants from the Philippines, as well as extended family members, start their lives in the U.S. by offering them temporary housing, helping them look for jobs, and even providing tuition assistance for their education.
Dolores was the wife of the late Francisco Coronado Albovias, and is survived by her two sons; four grandchildren; seven great-grandsons; grand-nephew.
Interment: Woodlawn Memorial Park, 1000 El Camino Real, Colma, CA 94014
