Born on March 9, 1932 in Algarve, Portugal, Romana met her life partner Antonio there in 1949. Ten years later she joined him in Canada where they lived in Kamloops and the Okanagan before settling in 100 Mile House.
They lived there and raised a family there for the next 36 years. In 1995, shortly after retiring, Romana and Antonio moved to Kamloops.
From then onwards, Romana enjoyed gardening fruits, vegetables and flowers, RVing, crocheting and going for walks, often with her own dogs and sometimes to meet other dogs.
Romana, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend leaves behind Antonio, her husband of almost 71 years, 3 daughters (son predeceased), and 4 grandchildren and their partners.
Never easy. We miss her so much already.
