Obituary

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nelia (“Nelly”) Vieira. She passed away on May 26, 2023 with family by her side. Nelly is survived by her devoted husband of 40 years John Vieira, her loving daughter Sabrina (Desmond), her proud grandchildren Isaiah and Ciarah, and her beloved pets Mia, Scrappy and Tiger. Nelly is also survived by her sisters Elizabeth, Fernanda and Inesia, her mother Maria and a host of nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.

Nelly had a heart of gold and was always willing to help others in need, even before helping herself.  She loved her pets very much. Nelly lived a vibrant life and adored being around family and friends leaving behind the greatest of memories. A lover of dancing, cooking and just having a great time, Nelly will always be remembered as being the life of the party.

Nelly is now resting in peace and has reunited with her father Alfredo and sister Goretti whom she loved dearly.

The family requests that people make donations in praying masses in lieu of sending flowers.

Our dear cousin Nelia has breathed her soul into her Savour’s arms and the angels carried her away joyfully, singing and dancing. She would be the first to say that her most important role in life, and the one she cherished the most, of course, devoted wife to her husband, John, mother to Sabrina, but oh how she relished in being a grandmother. Knowing you, you are greatly missed, you touched many people in your lifetime with your kind and generous heart, and being a loyal friend to all. Healing prayers, thoughts, strength, and love to our entire family.

John, Sabrina, Isaiah, Ciarah, D. Maria, Naz, Liz & Fernie, my heartfelt condolences to you all. It came as a complete shock that Nelia is no longer with us. Everywhere she went, she was the life of the party, always willing to give a helping hand to everyone. She may not of had much, but she always gave more than she could. She always had that hearty laugh and smile even when she was having a bad day. No words can bring back a lovable soul and console you all, but just know she is finally reunited with her sister and loving father that she missed terribly. They were both waiting for her and helped her cross through the light to the other side and let's not forget her fur babies, they are all around her right now. She is rejoicing and smiling where she is right now. Know she is no longer afraid or suffering, but watching over you all and will be guiding you on your earthly passage. God bless her and rest in peace dear friend, you will be missed.
