Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryHERCULANA FRIAS It is with heavy hearts, that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, wife, grandmother and sister, Herculana Frias. On June 5, 2018, surrounded by her family, our mother passed away peacefully after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Left to mourn is our father, her husband of 47 years, Raul Frias, her daughters, Elda Cabral (Emanuel), Celina Philpot (Glen), Goretti DiMartino (Joseph) and Natalia Frias-Prins (Tyler). As well as her grandchildren, Benjamin, Jacob, Gabriel, Madeline, Antonio, Liliana, Christian and Marcus and sisters, Maria Dos Anjos Rocha, Laura Viveiros and Lucilia Benevides. As well as her numerous nieces and nephews. Our mother is predeceased by her parents, Joao and Teresa Rocha, her brother Marcelino Rocha, and brothers-in-law, Joao Viveiros and Humberto Benevides. Our mother emigrated from Sao Miguel, Azores to Canada in 1969. She and our father married in 1970 and chose to settle in Winnipeg to raise their family. She retired from a lifelong career as a seamstress in 2006 to help care for her grandchildren, which brought her great joy. Our mother lived for her family. She was selfless, kind, caring and loving mother and friend. She had wit and boundless humour that could light up a room. We thank the oncology and palliative care of Dr. Fatoye and his staff at Seven Oaks Hospital for all their care and support. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, June 8, at 1:00 p.m., viewing commencing at 12:30 p.m. at Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, 181 Austin Street North. Interment to follow in Assumption Roman Catholic Cemetery, 3990 Portage Avenue. Mom we love you and will miss you desperately. Life will never be the same without you but we take comfort that you will be in our hearts always. Till we meet again, until then goodbye.

Dear Raul & Family We are so sorry that Herculana has passed. When a loved one passes away, no matter how long they have been sick one can never prepare for the day that finally God calls on them. Grieving for your wife is a physical and emotional pain. It can consume you for a while, but sooner or later, you will need to rebuild and put your life back together. You have been so brave to look after Herculana for at least 2 years, I know it wasn't easy but you did it all by yourself, what a great feeling for you to know that you did your best for her life to be prolonged, but as you always said, when God has her house ready in the other World He will come and take her with Him. It isn't easy to loose your partner of 47 years, it is a life time, but she also did her best to bring up four lovely daughters and in giving you all her love. Please remember that in the grieving process, you will need the loving support of family and friends. You cannot do it on your own, no matter how strong and independent you think you are. There will be days when it will hurt so bad, and you will need the support of your four daughters, sons-in-law and grandchildren.
