It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, daughter, granddaughter, aunt and sister-in-law, Maria Monteiro.
Maria is predeceased by her husband, Augusto (2002), mother, Isaura (2009), brother, Fernando (2005), father-in-law, Antonio (2013) and mother-in-law, Irene (2022).
Maria leaves behind her loving family; father, Antonio, daughter, Marlene (Tony), grandchildren, Briana, Bianca and Melania, nephews, Tony (Desiree) and Sean, nieces, Shannon (Rory), Michelle (Chris), Stephanie and Jessica, sister-in-law, Natalia and brother-in-law, Tony (Fatima) and many, many friends.
After being diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia and Corticobasal degeneration (CBD), Maria fought a courageous battle right up until the end.
Maria was a special person and had a positive impact on many, many lives. She will be truly missed.
We would like to thank the nurses and care aids at Cedar Hill Long Term Care Home at Langley Memorial Hospital, as they treated Maria with a tremendous amount of care and respect!
We invite you to honor Maria's life by attending her prayer service at Our Lady of Fatima Portuguese Parish (1423 East 13th Ave, Vancouver, BC, V5N 2B5) on Thursday, May 11, 2023 at 10:30am, with Mass at 11:00am, followed by burial at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (3789 Royal Oak Ave, Burnaby, BC, V5G 3M1) at 12:30pm.
