Catherine Louise Monteiro, 86
WAREHAM - Catherine L. Monteiro of Onset, MA, age 86, affectionately known to all as “Kakie,” passed away peacefully at home. She was the wife of Glenn “Floogie” Monteiro for 66 years. She was the daughter of the late Caesar and Anastatia (Sweeney) Monteiro.
She was the life of the party; always dressed-to-impress. She loved to dance and was the first person on the dance floor and last to leave. She enjoyed music, visiting the casino, flowers, and thrifting. She took pride in finding thoughtful, and unique gifts for family and friends.
Over the years, she worked on her father’s cranberry bogs, at Ocean Spray, and was a fire watcher in the lookout tower at the Myles Standish State Forest.
Kakie was one of a kind; a giving, and thoughtful woman who dedicated herself to helping others. She cared deeply for her family and took great pride in her Cape Verdean heritage and community.
Kakie was a loving mother and matriarch to family and friends. She is survived by her children: Lisa Debonise and her husband Mark of Wareham; Glenn Monteiro Jr. and his wife Jeannette of Stoughton; Gina Monteiro and her companion Brian Muise of Wareham, son-in-law Randy Lopes, brother Edwin Monteiro of Onset, and her devoted sister-in-law Brenda Morrell of Wareham. She was a cherished grandmother to Lauren (Monteiro) Fernandes; Antonio Monteiro; Jonathan Monteiro; and Brittany Monteiro. She was the proud great-grandmother to Jayla, Jasmine, Kaycen, and Vaeda. Kakie also leaves behind many loving nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
She was predeceased by her daughter, Karen (Monteiro) Lopes; her granddaughter, Chelsea Miranda; and her siblings, Mary Rose Sylvia, Josephine “Maddie” Gonsalves, Caesar “Sam” Monteiro Jr., Lydia “Lilla” Pires, Anthony “Bobby” Monteiro, and Robert “Robbie” Monteiro.
