Mabel and my Aunt Elsie on the past Queens Harvest Festival Parade float.

I am so sad to see the passing of  such a wonderful lady. She always brought a smile to my face and I always had great conversations with her and Adeline. I just heard about her passing, so sorry to the family for their loss.   My heart breaks for you.

Dean, Danny and families 
Just heard today of your mom’s passing and sending our condolences.   She was a very special lady and we always enjoyed visiting with her.  She loved working in her yard and kept it pristine.  Bill loved honking at her and she always had a big wave for him.  Sending big hugs.
Bill, Cathy and Family

Dean and Danny, condolences to the loss of your Mom.  There are no words to express the sorrow.  Take care of each other🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️

I copied this picture from my Aunt Barbara...just wanted to share.  ❤️🙏🪽

Aunt Mabel was proud of her Portuguese heritage. We will always remember her making filozes, a delicious Portuguese donut, at the family gatherings. She made Portuguese sweet bread for the holidays and would deliver it to us early in the morning so we could enjoy it with our coffee.

Aunt Mabel would tell us many stories of her childhood and the hard work and sacrifices that she and her sisters endured to help put food on the table. She wasn’t complaining, she was proud of their accomplishments and always felt hard work created a better person, she was absolutely correct.

We began making Portuguese sopas about 15 years ago to keep up the heritage. A few years ago, she wasn’t feeling well and had no appetite, we made her some sopas knowing she loved it. She told us that it was delicious and got her back on her feet—it was a great honor for Mabel to say that.

Aunt Mabel was my (Bobby) God Mother, she always spoke her mind, gave good advice, she didn’t sugar coat her words, but that’s what I loved most about her. 

She loved her family. She always spoke so proudly of her sons, Dean and Danny, and grandchildren.

Aunt Mabel, our gatherings will be different now but we know that you are celebrating with your heavenly family.

In loving memory, Bobby and Tina McClure

I’m so very sorry to hear of Mables passing, my prayers to her family.  I just found out, I feel so bad that I missed her services. If I had known I would have  been there. Always loved running into her and Adoline. Always such fun conversations. Love to all,          Phyllis Botelho and family.

Dear Dean, Danny and family..
I just found out this morning about your mom’s passing. Heaven truly got an angel. I loved our calls and visits.  She was and always be an icon of Kerman, her laugh , smile and sweet demeanor was one of a kind. I tried to always send a card or postcard from my travels and she always was so happy to receive them.. It was a true pleasure to grow up knowing her and continuing a life long friendship. Mabel, RIP ..Dean, Danny and family, 
I hope all your  family memories and those of others bring  comfort during this difficult time of loss. 
Fondly, Gail Andrade

I will always remember Mabel and her sister Adeline.  They were members of my gym “The Workout”  they would tell me stories of their families and their adventures on their vacations. I love listening to them. I thought of them as my aunts. I looked up to them. They were like family to me. I will truly miss you, Mabel. Love always Margaret Van Hoosen

A few years back, we gave Grandma a tiara and a gold sash for her 90th birthday. She wore them with the sweetest smile, full of grace and love. We pulled out her old newspaper article from when she was the Harvest Festival Queen and read it aloud, smiling at how little had changed. That day, she was “a queen again.” But to me, she always was.

Sorry for your loss you have our prayers, the Snow family
