MARIA DOS ANJOS ARRUDA

August 9, 1953 - October 13, 2021

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, sister, and friend on Wednesday, October 13^th at Riverview Health Centre at the age of 68.  

She will be lovingly missed by her husband Carlos; children: Kathy, Nilton, Debbie and Roberto; her sister Odete (Filipe), brothers in-law, sisters in-law, nephews, nieces and many other family and friends. 

Maria was predeceased by her parents Manuel and Maria Luiza Pacheco. 

Maria came from Sao Miguel, Açores to Canada in 1966.  Arriving as a teenager, she attended Tec Voc High School.  She worked at Versatile, Bank of Montreal, and Fabricland.

Maria was a devoted wife and mother who worked tirelessly for her family.  Her family was always her main priority.  She loved to sew and generously shared her creations with family and friends. 

Maria was a kind soul with a generous heart and a beautiful smile that she shared with everyone.  The world will be a little darker without her.

The family would like to thank the staff at Riverview for the care and kindness shown to Maria.
