Marianna da Silveira and her husband-to-be Tome Gregorio were born in Biscoitos de Calheta, Sao Jorge, Azores Region, Portugal.
He was her maternal Uncle and the love of her life. When he died in 1923, She basically wore only black clothing for the next 44 years.
Knowing no English when she arrived in the USA, she taught herself to read English, she passed the naturalization exam and became a citizen of the USA. She passed her driver's license test, and kept her car well past her 80th birthday.
She loved to play card games and was known to cheat. Never mind, everyone loved being with her except maybe her sons-in-law.
Marianna was also well known for casting spells on people. The proof was discovered much later. The proof was that each of her grandchildren KNEW that they were her favorite.
