Isabella Quinteros

Always called Bella,this aunt went to live in Chile in Rio de Janeiro, when she married. She remained in Chile for the rest of her life communicating with her family by letters and the rare telephone call. Sadly her marriage did not last, and she was left with two children to bring up. The boy unluckily died of Cancer whilst a young man, leaving a son and daughter behind him.

When she was living at home before her marriage, she was a great dressmaker and knitter and made me many lovely clothes both knitted and sewed, She remained very close to her brothers and sisters despite living so far away.
