On Saturday, June 15, 2019, Maria (Mary) Santos Teixeira passed peacefully with her family by her side at the age of 99, just one month shy of her 100th birthday (born July 31, 1919).
She is survived by her beloved sons Daniel S. Teixeira and George S. Teixeira. Her daughter-in-law Diane Teixeira and her treasured twin grandsons John and Chris Teixeira, her favorite man Rick Ramirez and other loving and extended family members who treated her as their 'Vojvodina' (granny). Maria also will be lovingly remembered by many other close friends and all her Leisure House condominium family who treated her so kindly and held an early 100th birthday celebration in her honor this year.
Mary loved living by the beach and seeing the ocean every day, therefore a centennial celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, June 22 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Penthouse 2500 located in the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, 505 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304.
In Lieu of flowers, we prefer that expressions of sympathy may be made in Mary's name to:
