Palmirinha gained national notoriety for her family-friendly approach to her cooking show, a true “grandma” for her little friends, as she called viewers. Palmirinha began her career on TV in 1994, aged 63, in a participation in Silvia Popovic’s program, an occasion that allowed her to be discovered by Ana Maria Braga, who presented the program Note e Anote, on TV Record.

Ana Maria Braga used social media to pay tribute: “My great friend Palmirinha. Mother, friend and sister that life gave me. Today heaven is sweeter with your arrival! Lucky for those who had the privilege of having her around. My sincere condolences to the whole family.”

The wake will be at Morumby Cemetery, this Monday, the 8th, and will be open to the public from 11 am to 1 pm; the burial will be closed to family and close friends only. Palmirinha leaves 3 daughters, sons-in-law, six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
