Ana Claudia (de Almeida) Schultz

Though Ana Claudia Shultz was from Worcester, she planted many seeds throughout her journey, nourishing different chapters, paths and places of her life.

Her heart was so grand, welcoming, warm and nonjudgmental. Her hands always giving, pouring and spreading love in all she does, especially in her cooking! Because of course, the kitchen is the heart of the home.

On September 21, 1971 a beautiful soul was born in Joao Pinheiro, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The beauty in her spirit lived so freely, she was to able to reach so many of us. Though on September 24, heaven gained an angel, her love will forever live on.

Her light will shine through in her sons Antonio and Lucas, and through her grandchildren Laura, Janylah, and Javian.

From the ground, Claudia is survived by her father Pedro Paulo de Almeida and may she live through all of her family and friends. And from above, may she unite with other beloved ones, including her mother Maria Reina Alves Mendes, and continue to keep watching over us, wrapping us in all of her grace, warmth and love.
