Biography

Isaura was born on the beautiful island of Madeira, where she spent her early years surrounded by the love of her family. She cherished her childhood with her brother Joao and sisters Maria, Laurantina, Filomena, and Celestina, often reminiscing about walking to school, attending church, and the simple joys of family life. Isaura had a quiet love for music, she enjoyed playing the harmonica when she could and often sang softly when she thought no one was listening. Her joyful spirit and kind heart made her a beloved colleague during her many years working at the Chesterfield Hotel, where she was known for her warmth and cheerful nature. She was a devoted mother to her four children; Jeanette, Ludejero, Diana, and Euzebio whom she raised with strength, love, and guidance, helping them grow into the strong individuals they are today.

Family and Legacy

Isaura is survived by her husband Luis, sisters Maria, Filomena and Celestina, children Jeanette, Ludejero, Diana and Euzebio, grandchildren Ty, Thomas and Thea, and extended family, all of whom carry forward her legacy of love, resilience, and joy. She was a cherished sister, a loving mother, and a treasured friend. Her presence brought light into every room, and her memory will continue to inspire those who knew her.

Remembering you are gone is very difficult and it will be hard to overcome. You fought like a warrior all your life only to have to do it also at the end.  With every heartbeat I have left,I will carry you with me. The strongest people are the softest of hearts, loving spirit and the compassionate guide. I will be forever grateful for having you as my mãe. Knowing that you will be at peace, now that you’re gone from us here on earth, but you will be forever in our memories and never forgotten . Love you mãe xxx

We will miss her eccentricity and directness as a person; and above all her caring and considerate nature as an auntie!!! Rest in Peace, Tia

I met a warm, joyful, funny, eccentric woman whom I called mum. I loved her sense of humour and fun. I am blessed that she gave me one of my best friends Amelia. In turn that opened the door to a beautiful warm and loving family that have always embraced me and made me feel welcome. What a beautiful legacy mummy Batista you have left behind and I feel honoured to have witnessed it and been apart of the journey. You fought a good fight and now you are the arms of the one who loves you best, rest in peace mum your race is done. Love you.

Tia. You will always be remembered for being funny and the strongest lady I know. You had an amazing sense of humour which shone through and never taking yourself serious. Continue being you up in heaven looking down on your loved ones. You can now rest in Peace Tia. All my love Lucy

I never really called you Isaura, you were always Māe to me. A truly wonderful soul and a real force of nature. Definitely a small but mighty and feisty one! Whilst my heart breaks for the loss to your family and friends, it also smiles with the memories of you. Coming in with Diana and having a chat, sitting down to dinner and laughing. My favourite memories are of you telling a funny story and creasing with laughter before you’d get to the really funny bit! Now you get to rest in peace, your legacy is a proud one. Big love! Rhoda Xxxxx
