Maria Julia Madeiros Branco, born on November 30, 1940, in São Miguel, Azores, Portugal, passed away peacefully on December 27, at Michael Garron Hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Maria Julia was a strong, kind, and loving woman whose life was defined by devotion to her family and quiet resilience. She carried her Portuguese heritage with pride and expressed her love through care, generosity, and unwavering support for those around her. She is survived by her beloved children, her son Paul, her son Carlos, and her daughter Liliana, as well as her cherished grandsons and granddaughters, who brought her immense joy and pride.

Maria Julia was the devoted wife of Manuel Cymbron Branco, and after years apart, they now peacefully rest together and are reunited in heaven.
