Vivian Capobres

June 20, 1941 — May 17, 2025

Vivian Mamaril Costales Capobres, 83, passed away on May 17, 2025 in San Gabriel, California. She was born on June 20, 1941 to Eulalio and Sinforosa Costales in Naguilian, La Union, Philippines. Affectionately nicknamed "Bing," she was the extrovert of the family. With dreams of becoming a nurse, she came to the United States in 1966 to attend Pasadena City College (PCC). When she met George Capobres in 1967, her plans changed. They married in 1969 and raised their family in the Los Angeles area. When her children were a little older, she returned to nursing school at PCC and graduated in 1986. She worked at Barlow Respiratory Hospital until she retired in 2006.  She was a devoted wife, mother, and friend who was always willing to help others.  Most importantly, she loved being "Lola" to her four granddaughters who admired her sense of style and cherished her advice.  Her infectious laughter and smile would always brighten up a room.  She will always be loved and greatly missed.

Vivian was preceded in death by her husband, George, and is survived by her children Brenda (Arturo) Villegas, Karen (Peter) Bond, George Don Capobres; and four granddaughters: Cassandra Bond, Caitlin Bond, Caroline Bond, and Arianna Villegas.

Vivian was laid to rest on June 4, 2025 at Forest Lawn, Covina Hills, CA.

In remembrance of Vivian's life, please consider donating to The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA International), an organization that she and her husband believed in.
