Spinola on Tuesday August 11th, 1931 in Fogo, Cape Verde. She was
united in marriage with Olavo Barbosa Da Silva on December 23rd, 1953.
Eleven children were born from this union, 7 daughters and 4 sons. Olavo,
Maria and their children migrated to Boston, Massachusetts in 1977. She is
survived by her 7 daughters and 4 sons who are, Filomena Correia, Maria
Clementina, Maria De Jesus Rosalis, Teresa De Lourdes, Ana Maria,
Angelina, Maria Jose Da Silva, Manuel Duy, Clarimundo, Olavo Bilac and
Antonio Spinola Da Silva. She is also survived by 30 grandchildren, 21
great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild.
Mama Maria, as we call her, was a beautiful and modest woman who
exhumed pride, strength, and resilience. She instilled in her children the
value of hard work and the integrity of family. She was a pillar of strength
within the Da Silva family. She had a heartwarming smile and the gentlest
eyes anyone could ever witness. Although she is no longer with us, we find
solace knowing that she is reunited with her husband, Olavo, once more.
