Hilda was an extremely loving and devoted mother, grandmother and great grandmother; her family was everything to her. She loved to travel, especially her trips to Portugal. She was a member of the St. Anthony's Church Women's Guild. She was also a member of the Newport Athletic Club, and was very active throughout her life. She was a wonderful woman, and will be missed by all who knew her.

Hilda is survived by her children, Jacqueline Ferreira of Portsmouth, Lawrence "Larry" Ferreira and his wife Doris of Tiverton, and Manuel "Ron" Ferreira and his wife Linda of Bristol. She is also survived by her loving grandchildren, Ron Ferreira Jr., Gregory Brasher, Lisa Allen, Matthew Brasher and Christopher Ferreira; her great grandchildren, Marley Allen, and Benjamin, Kellin and Natalia Brasher, and her loving companion of over 40 years, Gene Furtado.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Manuel, who passed in 1965, as well as her brothers, Arsenio, Joseph and Ernest Barreira.

Her family will be receiving friends on Friday, Nov. 30, from 9:15-10 a.m. in St. Anthony’s Church, and her Mass of Christian burial will be immediately following at 10 a.m. in the church.
