Her gentle nature, laughter and unwavering devotion to those she loved will forever be remembered and cherished.

    In addition to her beloved husband, Manuel, she leaves behind her two sons, Brian Mendonca and Phil Mendonca and her two brothers, Louie Medeiros (wife Evelyn) and Roland Medeiros (wife Angie).
