Born in Madeira Island, Portugal, she is the beloved daughter of the late Carlos Ornelas and sister to the late, Emanuel Ornelas.

Her greatest joy was to be surrounded by her loving family that she loved immensely. Gorete was a very caring and unselfish person. She had an infectious smile that brightened your worse day, a kind soul, and a calmness to her voice. She loved her trips to Dunkin Donuts for her coffee and plain donut. She would have been a great spokesperson for Dunkin Donut.
