Maria Thereza Almeida Cabral
November 18, 2024
Passed away peacefully at Westmount Gardens, on Monday, November 18, 2024, Maria Thereza of São Paulo, Brazil, in her 86th year. Loving mother of Luciana (Mark). Adored grandmother of Stefan and Julian. Big sister to Maria Cristina. Predeceased by brothers Mario Luiz and Antonio Carlos.
Maria was a devoted homemaker. Friends and family often delighted in her wonderful meals. She thrived in all that homemaking was: cross-stitching, ironing clothes, and nurturing her African Violets. Maria could often be found chatting on the phone with friends. She was lucky enough to see her favourite singer, Roberto Carlos, live in Toronto. One of her biggest milestones in life was getting her driver’s license at the age of 45; this brought her great pride and a sense of independence! This was sadly one of the first things that being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s took from her.
Visitation will be held on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, where a funeral service will be conducted on Thursday, November 21, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Interment at St. Peter’s Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to donate in memory of Maria are asked to consider Alzheimer Society Southwest Partners.

Tereza was the first Brazilian in London to help my family when we arrived in Canada. From her gesture of kindness we became friends and our kids shared experiences for many years. I remember Tereza around the kitchen preparing delicious food. Her love for the family is exemplary. My prayers for Tereza to continue the eternal life with happiness.
Luciana and family, We were deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your dear mom. Please accept our deepest & heartfelt condolences. You always spoke so highly of your mom, and we hope you can find comfort in the cherished memories you shared with her. Take Care, Gary & Jo

My deepest condolences to Tereza’s family. She taught me long ago how to make brigadeiros. Ever since then, I make them every Christmas. It’s a memory I will always have of her.
Dona de um sorriso encantador, dos conselhos, e cuidados com minha família. Uma amizade linda com minha mãe. Thereza deixou um legado de amizade, amor e dedicação.
