Obituary

Teresa Preto (née Meirinhos) passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on November 25th at the age of 90. Teresa endured many serious medical issues in recent years with courage and determination. Known for her faith and resilience, she was the matriarch of her family and will be deeply missed.
Teresa was predeceased by the love of her life, Abilio Preto, pioneers in building the Portuguese community in Toronto. A welcoming and loving influence she is fondly remembered by her three children and their spouses, Fernando (Irene), Maria (Ashton) and Ed (Denise), brother Eduardo and sister-in-law Fatima as well as adoring grandchildren Elizabeth, Christina, Evyn, Ethan and Ben. Teresa was surrounded by a loving extended family - as she always said "better all together".
