Remembering Allison Fernandes

On behalf of the Fernandes family, It is with great sadness that we inform you of the sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Allison Fernandes, on August 28.

With her husband, Aurelio, Allison was among the founding member families of the Edmonton Goan Association.  With her gift of perfect pitch and exemplary musical skills, almost any Goan function or basement party starting in the early 1980s was only made complete when Allison started to lead the crowd in a sing-song.

A funeral mass will be celebrated for the Life of Allison Fernandes:

Location: St. Matthew's Parish -13131 86 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5E 3B5

Date: Friday, September 5

Time: 11:00 a.m.

Reception: Immediately following the service.

 The family has prepared a tribute to Allison here.

The family is grateful to all who have already reached out to offer love, prayers, and support. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages those who feel so inclined to consider making a donation in Allison's name to any institution focused on dementia research, or any other organization which supports patients of dementia and their caregivers.
