TRAGIC LOSS of Ailene Pepito-Salise

In loving memory of Ailene Pepito-Salise.

On December 27th, 2023, Ailene was involved in a collision. She was struck by a vehicle and was transported to London hospital with life-threatening injuries. Sadly, she passed on December 30th, 2023.

Although we do not have many details of the accident, the Woodstock Police Services released the following statement:

WOODSTOCK, ON (December 27, 2023) – At 5:44 p.m., on Wednesday December 27, 2023, a 36-year-old female pedestrian was struck by a vehicle while walking across the road on Juliana Drive, east of Norwich Ave. The female was transported to a London Hospital, where she is being treated for life-threatening injuries.

The 54-year-old male driver of the vehicle, a resident of Tillsonburg has been arrested and charged with failing to stop at an accident resulting in bodily harm, and careless driving causing bodily harm. He has been released from custody with a future court date.

The Woodstock Police Service would like to encourage anyone having information about these investigations to contact the Woodstock Police Service at [phone redacted] or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Ailene, Daryll and 2 year old son Dane, moved to Canada on August 24, 2023 from Bukidnon, Philippines. It was Ailene's dream to move to Canada for a better life for their son, Dane.

We are asking friends and family to please consider supporting Salise family during this challenging time. There are a number of unknowns and challenges that the Salise family will face in the coming months. We are hoping to help alleviate the financial stress that may arise from time away from work, and unforeseen expenses. The funds raised will provide support to Daryll and Dane as they navigate this unimaginable loss.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let us show them that they are not alone and we are here that care and think of them. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in helping the Salise family.

Thank you for your support.
