She is survived by two daughters: Rosemary Mano Resendes and her husband, Humberto, and Alexandra Mano Silva, all of Dartmouth; four grandchildren: Jacqueline, Nicholas, Christopher and Rachel; four great grandchildren: Natalie, Zara, Braylon and Rylan; as well as several nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by 6 siblings.

Services were held earlier this week. Arrangements by Perry Funeral Home, 111 Dartmouth St. in New Bedford.
