Loreta "Yaya Luring" Benitez is Dead

Yaya Luring (Loreta Benitez in real-life), who has been a nanny for the Megastar Sharon Cuneta was pronounced dead on arrival due to cardiac arrest at a nearby hospital where she was rushed after complaining of “weakness” and “feeling faint” during a Christmas party held at the Pangilinan’s residence in Laguna.

"My beloved Yaya Luring left
me last night after 40 years," Sharon said in a text message.


Yaya Luring is from Mangatarem, Pangasinan. She first joined the Cuneta household as a laundrywoman when Sharon was only 13 years old.

It was former Pasay City mayor Pablo Cuneta who put her in charge of her youngest daughter, Sharon—the two were inseparable since.

Yaya Luring’s body is interred at Sanctuario de San Antonio on McKinley Road, Forbes Park, Makati. She will be laid to rest at the Heritage Park on Dec. 23.
