A fighter of strength and a passion of life. Born and raised in Portugal. She came to the states without speaking the language and in spite of all the obstacles she had to face. A wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother. A woman of wisdom, faith and culture. She leaned towards God as a way of life. Always encouraged us to seek our very best. A kind soul who loved God as daughter. She sowed, knit and cut her way to a long and fulfilled life only intended for her. She carried the love and strength and in return showed love and kindness to all. Any moments of greetings she loved. From lit candles to praying and laughing she believed in nothing more but of the lessons she leaves behind. May as you go, rest in peace, with the love of all that you have touched deeply, in the kingdom of God. We love you Avó.
