DA SILVA, Maria 'Bia' - Passed away peacefully with family by her side on Thursday, January 3, 2019 in her 97th year.
Devoted wife of the late Jose “Adolfo”.

Bia will be dearly missed by her caregiver and friend Palmira.
She will be fondly remembered by her family and friends for her compassion: she fed the bodies and souls of many with her home cooking and generosity to those in poverty. She had an incredible gift with her hands, making her famous monkeys, cabides, knitting baby booties, and so much more. She was dedicated to her faith and to her family. Her legacy of love will live on.
