She was also an extreme help in the baking and cooking process at the Hartford Connecticut Holy Ghost Portuguese Feast. Like her late husband, God and family were always most important. She enjoyed sewing and when she wasnt hemming clothes for family and others when needed, she made doily pieces in her spare time. Above all else she was a hardworking woman. She would lend a helping hand, that seemed to know no bounds, to those she cared for. She passed down her values of family, healthy living, making biscoitos (Portuguese cookies), and to always support and care for family and friends. Those she loved will never forget that feeling of unconditional love and she will be loved and missed forever and always.
