On July 25,2020 our beloved Cecilia Lopes went to be with the Lord. She is survived by sons, Lawrence and wife Susan Lopes, Joseph Lopes Jr., and Robert Lopes; her granddaughter Michele and husband Joseph Allard; granddaughter Mary and husband Bryan Kienke, her great grandchildren, Sophia Allard, Joey Allard, Ella Kate Allard, William Kienke and Connor Kienke; Her sister Florence Palazzo; her many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Cecilia was loved greatly by all and she loved unconditionally. She is now with her husband, Joseph Lopes, her parents, sisters and brother. She was everyone’s grandmother, mother and friend. She was born in Amityville, New York January 5,1933 one of six children. She married Joseph Lopes who was a member of the U.S. Navy, worked for the operating engineers and became a disabled veteran. At which time she became his caretaker and donated much of her time to the Disabled Veterans. She made the most of her exceptional life and worked hard for family. She relocated to Pompano Beach in 1975 where she lived many happy years.
In July of 2015 she became a resident at John Knox Village where she had many friends and enjoyed life. She was a passionate person, who loved to be with family and friends, loved to be active in the church, loved to travel and volunteer in any way she could. Cooking and baking was a passion of hers, as she greeted you into her home she would ask: “Are you hungry, would you like something to eat?”
You Were Loved By All & Be Missed By Many
God Bless You
Cecilia
