EDITA MARIA GOMES (TEIXEIRA) October 30, 1909 - July 9, 2009 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother on Thursday, July 9, 2009 in the comfort of her home. Edite was born in Portugal and made Winnipeg her new home in 1968. She was a strong-willed woman whose exuberant storytelling was captivating and her earnest faith inspiring. Her devotion to her family will be lovingly remembered by her children Maria, Amadeu (Iraci), Margarida, and daughter-in- law, Fernanda; and her grandchildren Elizabeth, Bill (Tania), Paulo (Andrea), Sylvia (Greg), David (Amanda), and Nicole, all of Canada. Her loss will also be mourned by four sons in Europe; 12 grandchildren in Europe; 18 great-grandchildren; and many other European family members. She was predeceased by her husband, José Joaquim Teixeira; her four children, including her son, Antonio Teixeira of Winnipeg; and her great-grandson. We'd like to thank the health care workers, nurses, and doctors that assisted in her complex care; a special thanks to Dr. Fuzeta, and the Fort Richmond Health Care Workers. Vigil prayers will be held on Tuesday, July 14 at 8:00 p.m. at Immaculate Conception, 181 Austin St. N. at the same location, Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, July 15 at 10:00 a.m., with Very Rev.
