MARIA MINALVINA CRAVEIRO It is with our deepest sorrow to announce the passing of our loving wife, mother and grandmother, Maria Minalvina Craveiro, on May 20, 2000 at Seven Oaks Hospital. Maria was born on March 30, 1937 in Sao Miguel, Acores, Portugal. She was married to Joao Sousa Craveiro in 1958, then had four children and moved to Canada in 1970. She had devoted all of her time to her husband and raising her children, then in later years her grandchildren. She will be sadly missed but never forgotten by her loving husband Joao Craveiro; her sons, John (Sharon), Emanuel (Shelley), and her only daughter Edwarda (Tony) Sardinha; her seven grandchildren, Kirstin, John, Matthew, Krystle, Stephen, Melissa and Michael. Her brother Jose (Fatima) Adriano and her very close friend and sister-in-law Maria Carvalho and numerous extended family and friends who live in Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Portugal.

The family would like to thank Diane McGregor and all the home care workers for all their wonderful care, also thanks to Dr. B. Macmillan for all his help and the staff at Seven Oaks Hospital, 5th floor Unit 3 for all of their support.
