Maria Ernestina Paiva Obituary
With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Maria Ernestina Paiva (Sarnia, Ontario), whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Maria left this world on December 27, 2025 at the age of 88, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Maria Ernestina Paiva to show support.
Though Maria may no longer walk beside us, her memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Maria touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In her absence, her spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her husband Manuel Paiva; her children, Maria Makrigiannis (Chris) and Jorge Paiva (Carrie); her grandchildren, Nicolas Paiva, Sophia Makrigiannis, Taylor Paiva and Christina Makrigiannis; her nieces, Liz Fried and Helen Braga; and her nephew Joe Rego.
