Cresencia Dabalos Andres, known as Nanay Cresencia (Mother Cresencia), was born in Masisit, Sanchez Mira Cagayan, Philippines on June 20, 1925. She is the fifth child of eight siblings. Nanay Cresencia’s family were devoted Christian church-goers and prayed constantly. Her parents raised them to have disciplined manners and taught them to be God-Loving and caring children. Nanay Cresencia always showed her love to her parents and siblings. Through her adolescent years, she had to work to support her older brother’s school fees.
On May 10, 1949, Nanay Cresencia, at the age of 23, married Sebastian Andres, who was 25 years old. They were matched by their parents, and developed their love for each other. Their relationship gives inspiration to their children and grandchildren. They had five children: Medarlo, Romulo, Evelyn, Edgardo, and Teresita. However, their daughter Evelyn passed away at the age of 2. When the children were young, Nanay Cresencia loved to cook sweet rice cakes to serve to her children, nephew, and nieces every weekend to encourage quality time between the cousins.
During the 1990s when her daughter, Teresita, became a missionary, she supported her and bought her daughter’s fundraising items just to have time to bond. Nanay Cresencia even brought her to the shopping mall to buy her daughter anything she needed.
In 1994, Nanay Cresencia went to Waipahu, Hawaii to join her husband, who served in the U.S Army. They stayed in Hawaii for 10 years. In 1997, they went back to the Philippines for vacation. During that time, Teresita was doing her HTM mission and Nanay Cresencia and her husband, Tatay Sebastian (Father Sebastian) were able to received the Holy Wine.
On 2006, Nanay Cresencia and Tatay Sebastian moved to Miami, Florida. That same year True Mother had a speaking tour and they both attended True Mother and received the Holy Wine again. Since then, they became active Unification Church members. A year later, Tatay Sebastain passed away at the age of 84. However, that did not stop Nanay Cresencia from continuing to be a devoted member. By 2010, they accomplished their 43 Day Ceremony (physically and spiritually).
Nanay Cresencia did her best to support her daughter by bringing her siblings to the Cosmic Blessing in 2014 and supported her HTM mission and ancestor liberation and blessings. By 2020, she attended her daughter and son-in-law’s Cheonbo registration Blessing.
On June 11, 2022, Nanay Cresencia passed away peacefully at 8:00 AM due to pneumonia and other existing health complications. She was loved by many, including her 4 children, 12 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and loved ones. Nanay Cresencia will always be remembered for her sincere heart and devotion as a loving mother and grandmother to the whole Miami CIG Family Church.
