Gabriela Alves Botelho

Gabriela Alves Botelho, 92, passed away on April 17, 2022 at Silver Creek Rehab & Healthcare Center. 

Born in Pico de Pedra, St. Michael, Azores, she was the daughter of the late Francisco and Maria Irondina (Couto) Botelho.  She was the sister of Geraldino Alves Botelho, Humberto Alves Botelho and the late Dr. Paul Alves Botelho and Maria Odette Botelho.  She was the aunt of Helder Botelho, Zulmira Allcock, Francisco Botelho, Cidalia Botelho, Mary Ann Botelho and Allison Botelho.

Miss Botelho was educated in Portugal and emigrated to the United States in 1966 where she was employed by Priscilla Sportswear and R & J Jewelry before retiring.  She was an avid reader who also enjoyed knitting and crocheting and loved spending time in the company of her family.  She was always a good sport when her grand nephews would ask her to play with them and she would catch bugs, play with playdoh and hide and seek..

Family and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial, Saturday, April 23rd, 11 AM at St. Elizabeth’s Church, 577 Wood Street. Burial will follow in St. Mary’s Cemetery.
