Yvonne “Yoni” S. Albano (nee Santos) age 54 of Wayne died peacefully at home on Thursday, August 22, 2013.

She was born in Manila, Philippines and came to the United States in 2001 settling in Haledon before moving to Wayne in 2006.

In 2001 she married Norman Albano after having met through relatives. Their relationship initially started by mail as Norman was in the United States and Yvonne was in the Philippines. They first met in person in San Jose, California at Yvonne’s brother’s home. They soon fell in love and married on May 20, 2001 in Pasay City, Philippines. They have lived in Wayne for the past six years.

Yvonne was a professional piano player and has played in hotels and resorts throughout Asia. When she came to the United States she played piano then trained to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. She has played piano at the Paramus Veterans Home and worked as an LPN at the Preakness Health Care Center in Wayne for several years.

She will be remembered as a happy, friendly person who had a good sense of humor and enjoyed caring for others. She felt her music was a universal language that helped her connect with those she cared for.

Yvonne was the loving wife of Norman Santos Albano; cherished sister of Virgilio Santos and his wife Teresa of San Jose, California, the late Larry Santos, Henry Santos and his wife Emeriz of Manila, Philippines, Jojo Santos and his wife Grace of Zambales, Philippines, Giovanni Santos and his wife Nanette of Manila, Philippines, and Minerva Villaranda and her husband Caesar of Calgary, Canada; she was much loved by many nieces and nephews.
