Obituary

FALL RIVER – Maria S. Resendes, age 90, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family at Sarah Brayton Nursing Home on April 18, 2021. She was the former wife of the late Norbert Pacheco Correia. Born in Feteira Pequena, Nordeste, St. Michael, Acores, she was the daughter of the late Angelo and Maria (Pacheco) Resendes. Maria was the rock of the family. She had a sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. Her great company will be surely missed. She was very generous with helping others, especially those in need. She was a great believer in making Masses for people who have passed. She also loved spending time with family, especially her grandchildren.

Maria is survived by her sons Emanuel Pacheco and his wife Maria Piedade of Dartmouth and Oliver Pacheco and his wife Olga of Fall River; sisters Maria Francisca Andrade and Maria Lidia Amaral; grandchildren Stephanie Joaquim (husband Filipe), Sabrina Pacheco (boyfriend Michael Rocha), Shane Pacheco (girlfriend Katelyn Sousa) and Amanda Pacheco (boyfriend Mitchell Taylor); great-grandchildren Filipe Jr. Joaquim and Juliana Joaquim. She was predeceased by her brothers Jose and Joao Resendes.

Maria’s family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to all of the staff, especially the nurses and aids of the Sagamore Unit of Sarah Brayton Nursing Home who cared for Maria with gentleness, love and patience over the last two years.
