It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Conceição Cordeiro on Saturday, June 8th, 2024, at Cambridge Memorial Hospital, in her 88th year. Conceição, lovingly known as Tia Connie by all, has joined her beloved husband, Jose, who passed away in 1982. They are now together again after so many years apart.
Conceição was a devoted mother to Connie (Jose) Soares, Edie (John) Sousa, Anita Cordeiro (John Papanikolaou), Lynda Cordeiro, and Cindy Cordeiro. Proud Avó to Gary (Jaime), Tanya (Doug), Sonya (Darryl), Shaun (Jenny), Ava, Sofia, and Luka. She was also a cherished Grand Avó to Makayla, Megan, Matthew, Dylan, Lucas, Ashlyn, Alyssa, Brayden, Cylie, Danyela, Cade, and Kye. Conceição is survived by her dear siblings, Maria da Silva, Maria Jose Medeiros, Lucy Silva, and Manuel Medeiros. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her extended family and friends.
Conceição was known for her love of children, often babysitting not only her family but also the neighbourhood kids. She was the type of person who saw the beauty in everyone. Her nurturing spirit and affection made her beloved by all. Conceição was a talented knitter, exceptionally smart, and cherished the simple pleasure of sitting on her porch, enjoying the goings-on of the neighbourhood. She was very family-oriented and always the first to lend a helping hand.
Relatives and friends will be received on Tuesday, June 11th, 2024 from 5-9 p.m. at Coutts Funeral Home, 96 St. Andrews Street, Cambridge. A Funeral Service will take place the following day, Wednesday, June 12th, 2024 at 11 a.m. within the funeral home chapel. Conceição will be laid to rest alongside her husband Jose at Mount View Cemetery following the funeral service.
As expressions of sympathy, donations may be made in her honour to the Alzheimer’s Society or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful staff at Riverbend Long Term Care Home for the exceptional care and kindness they provided to Conceição.
