Obituary
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Laura, at Emmanuel House surrounded by love and prayer. Laura peacefully entered the arms of our Lord on April 11, 2025 in her 90th year.
Laura is reunited with her loving husband and soul mate, Jose, who shared a lifetime of love and unwavering companionship and her infant child, Laura Maria, whom she longed to hold again, and whose memory she cherished dearly. Laura was a loving and dedicated mother to her daughter, Mary, and special son-in-law, Paul Levesley.

Predeceased by brothers and sisters in law Manuel (Ermelinda DaSilva) Conceicao (Guilherme Moniz) and Ludevina (Jose Silva).
She was deeply loved by many nieces, nephews, friends, and Godchildren in Canada and Portugal.
Laura had a kind spirit, a warm heart, and a wonderful sense of humour that brightened the lives of those around her. She found great joy in tending to her beautiful garden, a place where she spent countless peaceful hours. Every Easter, she made her famous massa bread, and everyone eagerly looked forward to receiving it. Along with her culinary skills, she was an expert at crocheting, creating many beautiful items, but it was her baby blankets and booties that became cherished gifts, with each family member receiving their own, made with love and care.
She was a devoted member of St. Mary’s Church, where she volunteered for many years and actively participated in various church groups, she found great joy as the Catechism teacher for the church and was also the leader of Grupo Sao Lucas. With a heart full of faith, she shared the message of Jesus wherever she went, spreading love and kindness to all she encountered.
