Isabel was a genuine soul who had the habit of telling things like they were, whether you liked it or not. She never lost sight of what was important and spent much of her days praying and honoring God in all His glory. She came to this country from Santa Maria, Acores with her son to ensure he had a life with endless opportunities. She was selfless in everything she did and always put her family first. She loved to reminisce about Sao Lourenco and Almagreira and has left us with stories and memories to cherish forever. She was overjoyed to take part in raising her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her values and beliefs will always live through them to carry on for generations. Isabel’s greatest accomplishment was her son, he was her pride and joy, her world, her everything and she was his.
