MARIA DE JESUS SOUSA MOTA It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Maria de Jesus, known as Natalia, our beloved wife, mother and grandmother on Monday, November 22, 1999, at Seven Oaks General Hospital. Natalia was born in 1922 on the island of S. Miguel, Azores, Portugal. She immigrated with her family to Winnipeg, Canada, in 1971. Natalia was a special and kind person, loved by all who knew her. She was the pillar of the entire family and took great pride and joy in bringing everyone together for the precious Sunday afternoon family gatherings. Natalia will be lovingly remembered by her husband Elisio; her seven children, Armenio (Julieta), Fernando (Maria do Carmo), Ines, Carlos (Fatima), Elisa (Antonio), Luciano, Filomena; and her 13 grandchildren, Joe, Paula (Rui), Zenaida, Catarina (Paulo), Harman (Sheri), Carlos, Albert, Elisa, Carlos, Tony, Dina, Natalie, and Lenny.
