In Celebration of

February 29, 1940 -
January 15, 2023
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Maria Fernanda Machado.
Maria passed away peacefully in her sleep at the age of 82, on January 15, 2023.
Maria was born on February 29, 1940, to the late Maria Tereza and Manuel Dos Santos
in Saฬo Miguel, Portugal.
Maria is the wife of the late Antonio Machado, and the proud mother of Edward (Isabel),
Lucy (Silvino), Patricia (Carlos), and Rui (Lina). Beloved Grandmother to Ashley, Chris,
Katerina, Andrew, Phillip, Danielle, Kristen, Erica, Alexya, and Kyle. Great Grandmother
to Miguel, Cristian, Logan, Jackson, Elijah, and Johnathan.
Maria loved her family dearly. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were
the light of her life. She touched the lives of many people. She will be missed, however,
never forgotten. We have all gained another guardian angel watching over us.
Maria was a devoted Catholic and served selflessly. All her life she prayed for the safety
and happiness for everyone especially the ones she loved. She will continue to pray
and watch over her family from her place in heaven.
Maria is deeply loved, and we will carry her in our hearts forever.
