Albertina Soares
1940-2020
SOARES, Albertina (nee Goulart), 80, of Cambridge, passed away
peacefully on April 18, 2020, with her family by her side. Albertina
was born to parents Francisco and Maria Teixeira on January 24, 1940
in Norte Grande, Sao Jorge.
Albertina married Manuel Bettencourt Soares in 1963, moved to Vouvray,
France in 1965 where they lived for three years and then finally to
Canada in 1969. Albertina is survived by her one daughter, Jacqueline
Takacs (Mike) of Cambridge and her two beautiful granddaughters Megan
and Brooke Takacs of Cambridge, her brothers Jorge Goulart (Albertina)
and Antonio Goulart of California and her many nieces and nephews.
Albertina was predeceased by her loving husband in 2016.
Albertina worked for years as a sewing machine operator at Penmans
clothing textile before retiring. Albertina is fondly remembered for
her infectious smile, always-happy personality and well known for her
playfulness, jokes, kindness and love of life. Albertina had so much
pleasure in gardening, sewing, cooking (Sunday dinners) and baking all
kinds of treats for her family. She loved to socialize and be around
friends and family, especially her best friend Deodete Silveira.
Albertina was proud of her family especially her granddaughters, whom
she loved more than life itself. We will affectionately remember all
the beautiful memories she has left with us.
We would like to thank the staff at St. Andrews Terrace LTC for taking
such great care of our Mom and grandmother, with so much love and
compassion. We are ever so grateful for everything you have done. A
private gathering will be held at Corbett Funeral Home, 95 Dundas
Street, N., Cambridge, Ontario (519)-740-0669 with cremation to
follow. A Memorial Mass and Celebration of Albertina’s life
will be announced and held at a later date. In these difficult times,
at a distance; please send a card, a simple phone call or an online
condolence on Corbett Funeral Home Website would be appreciated by the
family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer
Society.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Albertina Soares 19402020..
