Maria Dolores Gradwell Ribeiro – 10 Oct 1931 – 14 Aug 2024

Maria Dolores Gradwell Llorente Ribeiro, an intelligent, friendly, articulate, hard working lady… an extrovert with a contagious laughter. She loved painting and she enjoyed art. She loved cooking and baking and she was quite a Chef.

My aunt had a beautiful voice and there was always much singing in the car wherever we went. My uncles and cousin had magnificent voices (sadly not me) but I gladly joined in all the singing. Happy memories of the long school holidays I spent with them and with my grand-parents every year.

Many years ago, at her home in Mozambique my aunt had the most beautiful rose garden I have ever seen. She passed away after a short illness in Cape Town where she lived.

Querida Tia, thank you for the beautiful person you were. You brought so much joy to my life and to other people’s lives. I will miss you. May the good Lord allow us to reunite one day.
