Maria Elizabeth Esteves Dias

Maria Elizabeth Esteves Dias, born on July 15, 1962, in Portugal, passed away peacefully on March 28, 2026, in Bridgeport, CT. She was a cherished daughter, sister, aunt, and great aunt whose life touched many through her enduring warmth and kindness.

Maria’s journey began in Portugal, where she was born to her loving parents, Domingues Esteves Dias and Adelaide Santos Dias, both of whom have preceded her in death. Their influence and values remained a guiding light throughout her life.

She is survived by her devoted sister, Licinia Esteves, who stood by her side through all seasons. Maria also leaves behind a close-knit circle of family members who held a special place in her heart: her nephew, Kevin Pinheiro, along with Hannah; her niece, Kasie Pinheiro; and her great nephew, Joziah Graves. Each of them were a source of joy and comfort to Maria, and their bond exemplified the strength of family ties.

Many thanks and blessings are given to Kevin, Hannah, and Kasie for the loving and compassionate care they provided to Maria during her times of need. Their dedication and tenderness brought immense solace and dignity to her final days.

Maria Elizabeth Esteves Dias will be remembered for her gentle spirit and the quiet strength with which she faced life's challenges. Her memory lives on in the hearts of all who knew her, a testament to a life well-lived and deeply loved.
