Obituary for Ana Gloria (Lucas) Cacela
Ana Gloria (Lucas) Cacela, 97, of Ludlow, passed away peacefully at home on June 9, 2021 surrounded by her loving family.

Ana will be remembered for her resilience, her adaptation of modern thinking, for always inspiring and encouraging her family to be the best they can be, and especially her lifetime devotion to her family, which were her pride and joy.

Cacela, who predeceased her in 2018; a loving mother to Antonio Cacela and wife Lauren, of Holden, Luis Cacela and wife Maria, of Wilbraham, and Maria Batista and husband John, of Ludlow; a cherished grandmother to John and wife Brianna, Christopher and wife Marcy, Justin, Jillian, Jacob, Carl, Samuel, and Jack; great-grandmother to twins Isabelle and Olivia, Dylan, Camden, and Jacob John; dear sister to Angelina Pereira and Laurinda Goncalves, both of Ludlow, and the late Maria, Joaquim, Alzira, Jose, Antonio, Manuel, and Mariana; and also leaves many loving extended family members and dear friends.
