Wilhelmina Kielor, 98, of Attleboro, formerly of Rehoboth, wife of the late Edward Kielor, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 13, 2023 at Life Center of Attleboro following a brief illness. Born in Fall River, she was a daughter of the late Manuel Medeiros and the late Adelaide (Vieira) Medeiros.

Prior to her retirement she was a sewing machine operator in the local garment industry for many years. She loved cooking, especially soup, baking cakes, and crocheting. She also enjoyed exercising at the Senior Center, spoiling her grandchildren, and traveling to such places as Portugal and Florida. A devout Catholic, Wilhelmina faithfully attended Mass and prayed the rosary daily.

She leaves her loving and devoted daughter, Claudia Ferreira and her husband, Edward, of Rehoboth; her grandsons, Kyle Ferreira and his companion, Heather Deluso, and Jasson Ferreira and his wife, Lynne; her grandson Kyle's former wife, Danielle Jacquart; five great-grandchildren, Michael, Jacob, Kathryn, Angelique, and Daniel; and many nieces and nephews. She was also the great-grandmother of the late Victoria Ferreira and sister of the late Fannie Kazen, John Medeiros, and Cora Raposa.

Her Funeral Mass was celebrated on Friday, January 20th, at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Swansea followed by her committal and entombment at the Notre Dame Cemetery Mausoleum in Fall River. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Wilhelmina's memory to a food bank of one's choice.
