MARIA GRACIETE CALEIRAS MENDES SOUSA

It is with great sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Maria Graciete Caleiras Mendes Sousa on Friday, September 2, 2022, at Calvary Place Personal Care Home, with her daughter at her side, at the age of 85 years.
She was predeceased by her parents, Luisa and Jaoquim and her sister Ivone. Maria Graciete is lovingly remembered by her husband Francisco, daughter Belinda, granddaughters, Ava and Chole and her son-in-law Anibal. She also leaves her sisters, Ofelia and Gerturdes and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family both in Canada and Portugal. Maria Graciete was born and raised in Portugal. She then met her husband Francisco, which led to their journey to Canada where they settled; made many friends and raised their family. She was a seamstress until she began to lose her eyesight. She enjoyed immersing herself in her culture where she volunteered her time at the Portuguese Association of Manitoba. Her passions were reading and writing poetry and her talents were shown in her embroidery and crocheting skills.
The family especially thanks the personal care home and the health care providers who helped her greatly.

There are no goodbyes.
Where ever you'll be, you'll be in our hearts
Rest in Peace

Prayers will be Friday, September 9, 2022 at 12:00 p.m., with Mass of Christian Burial at 1:00 p.m. at Immaculate Conception Parish, 181 Austin Street N. Interment will follow at Assumption Cemetery, 3990 Portage Ave.
