Encarnacao was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend who will be truly missed by all who knew her. Encarnacao is survived by her beloved three children, Maria F. DeSousa and her husband Severino of Trumbull, Arlindo Frazao and his wife Regina of Trumbull, and Alzira Gray and her husband Sam of Bridgeport; her 7 adored grandchildren, Rui Braz and his wife Carminda, Christopher and Mathew Frazao, Brian Frazao and his wife Kelly, Diane Jager and her husband Aaron, Jessica Mota and Joshua Gray; her cherished great grandchildren, Kaitlin Braz, Noah and Brooke Frazao, and Zackery and Hunter Jager; and her loving brothers and sisters, Fernando Fragoso, Amaro Ribeiro, and Hortence Frazao. In addition to her beloved husband Jose, Encarnacao is predeceased by her brother Joao Fragoso and her sisters Maria Tereso, Maria Bento, and Acacia Lopes. The family would like to thank the ER staff and seventh floor nurses and aides of St. Vincent's Medical Center for their kindness and excellent services.
