<div itemprop="description">PRATECANTE KOUTO, Maria (nee Galvao) <br />1937 - 2016 <br /> <br />It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Maria Kouto Pratecante on April 8, 2016, at the age of 78. Loving wife of Joao Kouto Pratecante. Loving mother of John (Anna), Joe (Teresa) and Maria (Jeffrey Kenny). Adored vavo of Jonathan, Nicholas, Emily and Thomas.

Sister-in-law of Antonio Pratecante (Helena); Jose Pratecante (Teresa) and Trindade Camara (late Antonio). Aunt to many nieces and nephews. Mom's ongoing strength, courage and sense of humour during her long illness has been an inspiration to us all. Even through constant on going pain she was always welcoming to visitors in good spirits. She will be forever missed. Sincere gratitude is extended to Dr. Nichols and the nurses and staff at Queensway Carleton Hospital who our mother thought so much of. A special thanks to the Physiotherapy Unit at the QCH rehabilitation unit who our mother got to know by name and although in pain, welcomed your visits and encouragements. Many thanks to family and friends who provided their support during this difficult time. Your phone calls made our mother feel loved and cared for.
