Air Force Veteran, Frank P. Moreira, of East Providence, Dies at 82

Frank P. Moreira, age 82, of Sixth St., East Providence, died peacefully on October 3, 2021 at RI Hospital with his loving family by his side. 

He was the husband of Leonilda “Lee” (Brum) Moreira for 56 years. He was born in Bretanha, Sao Miguel, Azores, a son of the late Manuel A. and Sofia (Ponte) Moreira.

He proudly served our country with the US Air Force. He worked as an electrician for Mossberg Industries. Frank was a kind, loving gentleman with a great disposition and a very dry sense of humor. He enjoyed technology and electronics and was constantly fixing things, always wanting to know “how things worked.” He was limited to only five remote controls on the coffee table at one time.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his children: Frank Moreira, Jr. of Riverside; Lisa Moreira of Washington, DC; Nancy Williams and her husband, Mark Williams, and one grandson, Christopher Ian Williams, all of Warwick. He is survived by his brother, Antonio P. Moreira of Riverside.

His funeral will begin on Friday at 8 am from the Rebello Funeral Home and Crematory, 901 Broadway, East Providence, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 9 am in St. Francis Xavier Church, 81 N. Carpenter St., East Providence, RI.
