Print This | Siskiyou County - Germana was born on the island of Pico, Azores and was raised on the island of Faial, Azores. On Nov. 10, 1956, she married Joao Furtado and returned to the island of Pico. There she raised her three children, Germana, Maria and Joao. On Nov. 13, 1968, she immigrated to the U.S. with her family, and worked hard to provide a better life for them. She loved to attend church functions, dance, vacation on the beach in Half Moon Bay, spend time with her grand-children and great-grandchildren teaching them to crochet and knit, being surrounded by family and friends, passing on traditional Portuguese customs, like making Portuguese doughnuts, sweetbread, flat corn bread, traditional dances, and sharing her childhood experiences, and adventures. She taught us the importance of love, respect, family and a good laugh. In her last days, she expressed she wanted to dance with her husband again. On July 21, 2009, Germana went home to be with our Lord. She is survived by three children, eight grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren. Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother: May you dance on the streets of gold with your one true love until we see each other again. With all our love, Your Family. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
