Flordelina G. Sabado

Flordelina “Linda” Guillermo Sabado, 72, of Camas, Washington, passed away peacefully on November 13, 2025 at Ray Hickey Hospice House. Linda was born in the City of Laoag of Ilocos Norte province, Philippines, to Quirino and Maria Guillermo on March 7, 1953. She was the youngest of six siblings. At the age of eight, Linda moved to Hawai’i with the help of her eldest sister and husband. She attended Farrington High School while working at the Dole Cannery and later maintained a 4.0 GPA at Kapi’olani Community College in Honolulu, HI. While raising her family in Vancouver, WA, Linda achieved a bookkeeping certificate at Western Business School in Portland, OR. She held various administrative positions and proudly retired in 2020 from the Environmental Services Department of the City of Portland. Linda lived a full life. She found joy in family get-togethers for holidays and birthdays and especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Linda relished her time at the community recreational center where she waded in the pool and relaxed in the sauna. Her home was filled with a variety of plants and purple irises lined the exterior. Linda found solace and community as a Buddhist member of Soka Gakkai International-USA (SGI-USA). Faith and prayers guided her through challenging times and they contributed to beautiful successes, as well. For a time, Linda was a district women division leader and hosted neighborhood discussion meetings to study Buddhist principles and share daily Buddhist practices and experiences. Linda’s many SGI friendships are a testament to her devotion, kindness, forgiveness, generosity, compassion, and love. Linda is survived by her three daughters; Crisalyn May (Russell) Savella of Ridgefield, WA, Michelle Grace (Troy) Cumberbatch of Camas, WA, and Nadine Leslie (Anthony) Vroman of Ridgefield, WA; seven grandchildren, Julian (Cody), Cierra (Sunshine), Deven, Dylan, Thajj (Maria), Keenan, and Mia; five great-grandchildren, Shyne, Lovey, Rose, Talen, and Novali; and three siblings, Alfredo Guillermo of Waialua, HI, Dionicia Agustin of Ewa Beach, HI, and Esmenia Concepcion of Kahuku, HI. Linda was preceded in death by her parents and two siblings Regina Domingo of Honolulu, HI and Ernesto Guillermo of Honolulu, HI. A Celebration of Life will take place at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, December 4, 2025, at the Evergreen Memorial Gardens in Vancouver, WA. In lieu of flowers, cash contributions will be donated to SGI-USA in Linda’s memory.
