Pietra Emanuelle Silva Araujo, age 4, a Lowell resident since July of 2021, passed away tragically on Thursday, March 3, 2022 after a fire at her day care facility on Maude Street in Lowell. She was the beloved daughter of Silvia Santos of Lowell and Alexandre Araujo also of Lowell.
Pietra was born on February 13, 2018 in Governador, Valaderes, Brazil and was raised in Brazil for the first 3 years of her life. Her family relocated to the United States last summer, settling in Lowell. She loved her new home in America. She enjoyed playing with her friends and family especially outside in the park. She loved her family and they loved her. Her family will cherish every moment of the 4 years they had with her. She was learning to speak both English and her native Portuguese and even reminded older friends and family when they would make a mistake speaking either language. She was a precious gift, gone all too soon, she will be missed by all and her family asks for your support and prayers during this unimaginably difficult time.
In addition to her parents, Sylvia and Alexandre, she is survived by her step father, Robson Noguiera of Lowell and her large family, both here in America and in Brazil.
