Marlborough – Myrlle F. “Fernanda” Oliveira Jusseaume, 38, of Marlborough, formerly of Belem, Brazil, passed away surrounded by her loving family at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2016. She leaves her loving husband of six years, Adam E. Jusseaume, and their infant daughter, Chloe Cecilia Oliveira Jusseaume of Marlborough.
Fernanda was born and raised in Belem, Brazil and is survived by her parents, Celio Oliveira and Maria Barbosa, both of Brazil. She had resided in Marlborough since emigrating from Brazil in 2001, and was a longtime loving and caring nanny for the Agarwal family of Newton. She also enjoyed working in her spare time as a very talented interior designer and worked as a real estate agent for a short time. She was an active member of both the Portuguese Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Marlborough and the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Framingham.
Fernanda lived a short life that was full of accomplishments and joy, none more than the birth of her daughter, Chloe. She truly loved her family and always looked forward to visiting them in Brazil whenever she could travel. She always looked forward to expressing her talents in art and many family and friends can only cherish the works she leaves behind. The love and joy she shared with all will truly be missed.
Besides her husband, daughter and parents, she is survived by her maternal grandmother, Noemia Ferreira de Sousa; her brothers, Diogo, Celio, Ricardo, and Fabiano, and her sisters, Amanda, Danielee, and Gabriella, all of Brazil; Adam’s mother and step-father, Rebecca and William Benevelli, and Adam’s father and step-mother, David and Susan Jusseaume, along with many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
A funeral service will be held Monday, Sept. 12, at 11 a.m., in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 357 Berlin Rd., Marlborough. Burial services will follow in Howard Cemetery of Northborough. Family and friends may attend calling hours Sunday, Sept. 11, from 3-6 p.m., at the Tighe-Hamilton Funeral Home, 50 Central St., Hudson (www.tighehamilton.com).
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Fernanda may be made to Chloe’s College Fund, C/O DCU Credit Union, 279 East Main St., Marlborough, MA 01752.
