On October 31, 1969 they moved to the United States permanently where they built a life together. Maria “Estrelina” devoted herself to her family and friends, always being the first to reach out in a time of need. She was the best holiday hostess and a master of the Sunday dinner. She enjoyed gardening and cooking and most of all cherished the time she spent with the four shining stars of her life, Isla, Addison, Quinn and Levi, who fondly called her Titi. No one will ever forget the time spent gathered around the pool at her house. In more recent years she looked forward to catching up with her neighbors while they took their walks around the neighborhood. Maria was also a Master Seamstress, eventually owning her own successful business, Custom Draperies. Beloved wife of the late Albert Moreira. Loving mother of Paul P. Moreira and his wife Jennifer of Dracut. Cherished grandmother of Carmen Moreira and her fiancé Stephen Lelacheur and great grandmother of Isla Lelacheur.
