“I have fought the good fight ,I have finished the race,I have kept the faith .”
2 Timothy 4:7
With heavy hearts, but with hope in promise of eternal life, we announce the passing of our beloved mother Maria Melo, who went home to be with the Lord on September 24,2025.
Maria was a woman of incredible strength, warmth and grace. She touched the hearts of everyone who knew her whether through her words, her actions, or simply her presence.
Maria was the devoted wife of the late Dinis Melo, and a loving mother to her children, including her beloved son Eddie, who preceded her death.
She is survived by her children,Leonarda, Joe, Virginia, and Tony, who will forever carry her memory in their hearts, as well as her cherished grandchildren, who brought her endless joy and pride.
Her greatest legacy is the love she gave so freely, a love that will live on in her family and in the countless lives she touched.
