Obituary

Cecilia Graça Goncalves, born on August 2,1966 in Madeira, Portugal. It is with heavy hearts that we announce Cecilia’s passing on April 25, 2026.
Beloved partner Abel, who stood by each other through thick and thin. Adored mother and mother-in-law and gramma of David and Flavia and Zachary. Loved by many extended family and friends. 
Her passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew her. She will be remembered for her big heart, her strength to fight the battle she did with always a smile on her face and with her generous caring nature. We are grateful for the memories and the love and laughter that Cecilia brought into our lives, and we will always cherish them. Rest in peace, Cecilia. You will be missed. We love you and will forever love you more than we can put into words.

Muita força ao meu tio Abel e restante família neste momento delicado. Tudo nesta vida é passagem e a certeza que um dia iremos para outro lado para uma nova vida. Agora tia és uma linda estrela no céu, brilha muito e nos guia onde quer que estejas. Amém
