Maria will be lovingly remembered by her dear sisters Maria de Loures (Jose) and Amirinta (Fernando) and her brother Horcio (Goretti). She was predeceased by her parents, Maria Amelia and Sarafino Oliveira, and some of her siblings. Maria’s life was centered around her family, who brought her immense pride and joy.
