A Love Story that Lasted a Lifetime
Maria Natalia, who was born in Sao Miguel, Azores, and her late husband, Rodrigo P. Albernaz, had a wonderful love story together while they were married.

The love that they shared became a source of motivation for those who had the good fortune to be able to witness it.
An Azorean Heritage
Maria Natalia Raposo, the daughter of Joao and Maria Raposo, carried the rich Azorean heritage with grace and pride throughout her daughter’s life. Instilling in her a spirit of warmth, resilience, and a profound connection to her family, her roots played a significant role in shaping her personality.

She left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to be in her presence with her vivacious spirit, quick wit, and unflinching compassion. Because of her ability to find happiness in the simplest of pleasures, she was able to shed light on her path and spread warmth to everyone who had the good fortune to know her.
Cherished Traditions and Simple Pleasures
The straightforwardness of life brought Maria an indescribable amount of joy. Her most treasured traditions included going on cruises, watching cooking shows, going to the beach, and most importantly, having dinner with her family on Sundays. During these get-togethers, Maria’s home was filled with laughter and warmth, and these qualities became the defining characteristic of her legacy.
A Legacy of Love and Laughter
