Angela Tamba

Angela R. Tamba, 76, of Hopkinton passed away on May 25 at Mass General Hospital in Boston. Born in the Philippines, she was the daughter of the late Felisa (Bacomo) and Lucio Rodriguez. She was the wife of 39 years to the late Felix Tamba Jr.

Angela worked as a public health nurse in Cuyo Palawan, Philippines, where she was the go-to person in the community when people weren’t feeling well. She loved her work. She was an avid reader and especially took pleasure in gardening and caring for her orchids.

Angela is survived by her son, Ranulf Tamba, and his wife, Myra, of Hopkinton; two grandchildren, Journey Domanique and Nevaeh Sky; siblings Neil, Joe and Berting Rodriguez; and many nieces and nephews. She joined her deceased siblings Rodrigo, Pa’yang and Cading.

A private service will take place. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (dana-farber.org), or American Heart Association (heart.org). Arrangements are under the care of the Chesmore Funeral Home of Hopkinton.
