Daprosa Tabradillo Yap Obituary (1925

Daprosa Tabradillo Yap, age 89, was called back to God on December 11, 2014. Born May 10, 1925, in Botolan, Zambales, Philippines to Liong Bian Yap and Justa Tabradillo. The oldest of nine, Daprosa shouldered the responsibility of supporting her family, managing her own store in downtown Botolan and sending her siblings to college. Daprosa lived her life selflessly, always placing the well being of others before her. In 1981, she left her life and family in the Philippines, moving to Japan to live with her daughter's family and help raise her grandchildren. Her family moved to Bremerton in 1990, where she spent the remainder of her life. A woman of faith, Daprosa was a devout Catholic and also an active member of the El Shaddai Bremerton Chapter. In her free time, Daprosa enjoyed spending time with her family, as well as watching Seattle Mariners games and professional wrestling. Affectionately called "Dapring" by her friends or "Grandma Nene" by her great-grandchildren, she will be remembered for her dedication and love for her family, kindness, mental acuity, and spiritual and mental strength. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law: Marrietta and Arce Doble Sr; four grandchildren: Michael, Arce Jr., Chan, and Ann-Marie; five great-grandchildren: Erick, Alina, Ariella, Michael Jr., and Raymond; and two sisters: Consuelo and Lolita. She is also survived by her two granddaughter-in-laws and cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends, who she loved very much.
