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.
