Surrounded by her family, she peacefully passed on the afternoon of May 20th in Barrie, Ontario. Born on June 1, 1928, Firminia grew up in Sao Bras on the island of Terceira in Portugal. After being married to Jose Raposo and having three sons (Paulo, Vital and Fernando) she moved with her family to Canada in 1971. She was a beloved mother and grandmother of 7 (Sandra, Carla, Lenny, Shannon, Kiara, Andre and Mark). Her great heart was full of love and laughter that she showered on her grandchildren and her 11 great-grandchildren who together, will mourn her loss. She was predeceased by her husband Jose in 2011 but will be forever remembered by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We will all miss her very much. She will forever live in our hearts.
