Izolina De Rezendes

She was born in Minas Gerais, Brazil, to her late parents, Antonio Macario and Geraldina Olivera. She was one of 18 children and carried with her a deep sense of family, resilience, and love throughout her life.

Izolina was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who created a home filled with warmth and care. She had a gentle spirit and a nurturing heart, always putting her family first and finding joy in the simple moments spent together.

She had a special love for her birds and cared for many over the years, especially her beloved parrots, Sam, Sonny, and Ace. Her parrots and many parakeets brought her endless happiness, companionship, and a sense of peace.

She is reunited in eternal peace with her beloved husband, Antonio De Rezendes, and her cherished daughter, Monica Resendes.

She is survived by her loving family, including her son, Marcos Resendes; her grandchildren, Nick Resendes (Daniella), Drew Resendes, Devon Resendes (Emily), and Sophia Resendes; and her great-grandchildren, Jeremy and Alice. She was lovingly known as “Vovó Lina,” a name not only cherished by her grandchildren but also by many of their friends whose lives she touched.

A Committal Service will be held on Tuesday, March 31st at 11:30 a.m. at Garden of Memories All Faiths Mausoleum and Cemetery, 300 Soldier Hill Rd, Township of Washington, NJ 07676
