On June 29th, 2024 Maria De Fatima Monteiro Barbosa Amado, mostly known by "Titia",concluded the last cycle of life. She peacefully passed away, at home, in Pawtucket, RI.
· Born on June 1st, 1933, in the village of Curral Grande on the island of Fogo, Cape Verde. Maria De Fatima "Titia" was the third out of eleven siblings. She was the daughter of Maria Nascimento Monteiro and Joao Pina Pereira. Titia grew up and established roots in her village. Later in life, she met and married her husband, Joaquim Barbosa Amado, known by friends as "Djoca". Together they shared eight children.
· Titia was a devoted wife, a loving mother to her children, and a caring grandmother. Her role as a housewife was central to her identity. Titia was the heart of her family. Her top priority was to make sure that everyone felt loved and cared for; and she made sure that she instilled those two core values to her family, especially her children. In addition to her role as a stay-home-mother/wife, she enjoyed listening to morna, being outdoors, and spending time with families and friends.
· Her tall height and firm walking translated confidence. Her gentle voice made one run to her as she always had some good advice to share (conselho). Her hands were always open to help and her feet were always ready to run to anyone in need. Titia was an advocate for the right things. The family often made jokes calling her a "lawyer" because she liked to advocate not just for herself but for others. Titia '96 beautiful on the inside and out.
