In Loving Memory ~
Maria Jose Viveiros, 96, passed away September 20 at the Kitimat General Hospital.
Born and raised in Ginetes São Miguel Azores, she moved to Kitimat in 1968 with her six children to join her husband João Viveiros who was working at Alcan.
In the early years Mom worked at various restaurant, and spent most of her time taking care of her family. Later she helped raise her grandchildren, and in her later years just hugging and kissing her great grandchildren.
Mom loved her garden and spent many a hour planting, pruning and weeding, but her greatest joy came from playing Carpet Bowling. Mom dearly missed her Carpet Bowling family as she had to stop playing in her last years.
