Maria Piedade immigrated to Canada from Ponta Garca, Sao Miguel, Azores in 1963 to join her husband, Adriano of 58 years, predeceased July 2, 2019. Maria was a kind and gentle woman who loved her family, animals, gardening and to laugh. Her passing comes unexpectedly and she will be sorely missed by her loving family. She is survived by her two children, Julie (Jamie), Joe and grandchildren, Angelina, Jamie (Shannon) and Kimberly. Special thanks to the Saanich Fire Dept., BC Ambulance Service and the staff at the Royal Jubilee Hospital for all of their efforts.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Holy Cross Parish Church, 4049 Gordon Head Road, Victoria BC V8N 3X7 in Maria’s memory.

Lorna Mildenhall Dear Joe,
It is so difficult during these isolated times to share our warm and understanding condolences with grieving friends. I consider you among mine. I was truly sorry to read the notice in the TC this morning. Please call upon me should there be any thing, big or small, that you may need assistance with. Please know I feel for you and your family at this time.
Look after yourself and soon we shall all come together again. How about a cuppa in CCH?
God Bless. Kindest regards,
Lorna Mildenhall.
Maria touched our lives in such an amazing way. She and Adriano opened up their home to our daughter and provided a safe, loving space when Angelina and Kate played together. She was sweet and always had a wonderful smile for us and our dogs when we walked by.
Maria will be missed and we send our deepest condolences to her family.
