In our hearts she shall forever remain. It is with a profound sense of loss that we announce the passing of our family Matriarch – Maria Dos Anjos Cabral. She entered into the arms of our Lord on Wednesday March 24, 2021 in her 97th year. Reunited with her loving husband Manuel. Adored mother of Joe (Fatima) Cabral, Leonilde (Luciano) Medeiros, Lourdes (the late Manuel-Jose) Fernandes and Duarte (Carmen) Cabral. Most cherished Avó and Avozinha to seven grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. Predeceased by her six siblings whom she still spoke of frequently and shared countless beautiful memories of. Much loved Tia to many nieces and nephews throughout Canada, USA and São Miguel. Maria dos Anjos was much more than just an adored wife, mother, Avó and Avozinha. She was the pillar of our family. Her life was dedicated to raising her children, being an instrumental influence in her grandchildren’s lives and continuing that incredible bond with her great-grandchildren. A selfless woman who was the epitome of a genuine soul through her actions, her conversations, her giving heart and simply her pure love. She adored her family and loved nothing more than spending time with them whether it be during occasions, events, or spontaneous visits. No matter the occasion, she had the same sparkle in her eye and her most infectious smile along with her customary greeting; “Hi Jóia”. Although she spent 55 years in Canada, her birthplace and adored hometown of Mosteiros, São Miguel was forever in her memory and heart. Many times, while breaking bread with others, her memories of the old country were frequently mentioned. She would pass along her family’s history and would remind us that the simple loving moments spent together as a family was life’s beautiful gift. Maria dos Anjos had a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed sharing a good laugh with anyone. Her smile and laughter will be sadly missed around the table along with her traditional Portuguese dishes. The dishes many of us would try to replicate but commonly heard “It’s good but sorry Avó Dos Anjos’s is better”. Of course it was – none of us could ever replicate her pure heart. Mãe e Avó, may you rest in eternal peace and enjoy your place in Heaven’s garden. Your selflessness and dedication to our family is a legacy we were all blessed to be part of. In lieu of flowers, please consider honoring our Avó’s giving soul by donating to a charity who provides to those less fortunate. Adeus a nossa querida rainha de familia.
