Natividad Vendiola

Natividad Macay Vendiola, age 88, of Butler, New Jersey passed away peacefully on August 21, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. She is now reunited with her beloved husband, Calinico. She believed deeply in the power of dreams, encouraging her children, grandchildren and friends to chase their highest hopes without fear. Above all roles, Nating as she is known to many was a devoted mother and grandmother who loved her family with a fierce, quiet devotion. Her warmth, imagination, and unconditional love shaped the lives of everyone she held dear.

Her greatest love and proudest accomplishment were always her grandchildren. They were her pride, her purpose, and the center of her life. She celebrated them, worried about them, encouraged them and loved them immeasurably. She taught them that kindness is a strength and that wonder is worth keeping alive at any age. Her guidance was soft but steady, acting as a safe harbor and an inspiring light.

She is survived by her daughter, Susan and sons, Jameson, Jailfred, and Bemboy. She will be deeply missed by her grandchildren, Khristine, Nicholai, Maan, Khoreine, and Jameson Jr. Predeceased by a daughter in law, Marissa. She also leaves behind her other daughter in law, Cynthia and many extended family members and friends who will miss her dearly. She was truly a nurturing and steadfast mother and we thank her for her guidance, commitment, and love.

Natividad's family would like to invite friends and loved ones to honor her memory. A visitation will be held on August 27, 2026, at 2-4PM and 6-8PM at The Morrison Etheridge Funeral Home.

In accordance with their wishes, her remains will be brought home to the Philippines in the next couple of weeks for a celebration of her life and eventual burial ceremony.
