She is survived by five siblings: Ariel Teixeira (Caesar - deceased), Bernardette Dias (Porfidio), Jose Sousa (Floriberta), Lasalete Galvao (Jacinto), Gabriela Martins (Joao), her sister Eva Garcia (Eugenio) preceded her. Albertina's life was one of challenges and joys. Albertina married the late Pedro Borges Fagundes (1936-1970) in 1962. The couple lived a modest life in the home Pedro built with his father in the village of Serreta, Terceira, Azores. Together they had six children, Floriberto Fagundes (Barbara), Maria Dinis (Jorge), Laurindo Fagundes (Caroline), Zilda Bosch, Domitilia Fagundes and Pedro Fagundes (Vanessa). Sadly, Pedro died in a tragic farming accident in the San Joaquin valley while he was in California alone, just weeks before Albertina would deliver baby number six. Life had many hardships, however, through the generosity of the Portuguese community and her father sponsoring the family, Albertina and her children immigrated to California in 1973. The family called Alameda home until 1986. In the spring of 1986 Albertina met her life partner, Manuel Bettencourt. They were married just a few months later in July of 1986. This union introduced yet another son, Emanuel Bettencourt (Desiray), rounding out the count now at seven children. Manuel was literally by Albertina's side until the day she passed. Albertina had suffered from Alzheimer's for the past several years and Manuel was her caregiver. Before Albertina's dementia, the couple enjoyed traveling to their native Azores, enjoying many summers there visiting family and friends. Here in the US, they enjoyed camping with family or with friends at various festas throughout California. Albertina leaves us quite a legacy with 21 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren (and still counting). She taught us that although life is not easy, it is a gift and we should live it to its fullest. We will always smile and think of her when we look around at the beautiful, loud and loving family she built.

They fell in love, married in 1950 and had a son, Larry and daughter Terri. After marriage, Jane was a stay-at-home wife and mother, loved her family beyond words, and she was always there for them. She had an exceptionally strong love of family and nothing made her happier than being with them. When Larry and Terri got a little older, Jane worked summers with her sisters at Richard Nola's dehydrator and fruit packing company. She was energetic, fun-loving, and always up for whatever came her way. She enjoyed working in her yard, watching her daily soap operas, visiting with her sisters everyday and loved anything purple.

Jane never missed a volleyball or basketball game of her 2 granddaughters and followed them as far as Aruba to offer support and cheer. In Jane's 70s, she fulfilled her lifelong dream of visiting the Hawaiian Islands despite her lifelong fear of flying.
