She was born in Ponta Delgada, St. Michael, Portugal, the daughter of the late Augusto Pereira and Maria dos Anjos Moniz.
Mrs. Pereira had worked as a stitcher in local textile mills.
She had so much love for not only her family, but all those who came in contact with her. She was always joyful and shared that joy with all. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren, and wouldn’t let them escape without first giving them plenty of kisses. She will be greatly missed.
She is survived by her children, Maria Reis of Acushnet, Luisa Carvalho of Acushnet, Thomas Alves of New Bedford, Horacio Alves of New Bedford, John Alves of Acushnet, Victor Alves of Portugal, Luis Alves of Canada and Pedro Alves of Portugal; 17 grandchildren; 12 great grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
Her Funeral will be held on Thursday, March 12, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. from the Rock Funeral Home, 1285 Ashley Blvd., New Bedford followed by a Funeral Mass at 10:30 a.m. in Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church, 136 Earle St., New Bedford. Burial will be in Portugal. Visiting hours will be held on Wednesday 5-8 p.m.
