BROOKSVILLE - Dolores (Fumo) Dias , age 79, passed away on June 21, 2025, in Brooksville, Florida with her daughter by her side.

Dolores was born in Agua de Pau, Sao Miguel, Azores to Antonio DaCosta Fumo and Hilda (Adriano) Fumo. Growing up in modest circumstances in the Azores, Dolores learned early how to make the most of everything.

She found joy in sewing, baking, cooking hearty meals, singing around the house to oldies, dancing with delight, and tending lovingly to her garden. One of her favorite pastimes was packing up the car with a cooler full of sandwiches for trips to parks and beaches—a simple tradition that brought joy to those around her. Dolores was great with children.

Dolores is survived by her husband Antonio Dias; her children Catherine McCormack, Thomas McCormack, and Christopher McCormack; her grandchildren Vincent McCormack, Samantha McCormack, Tabatha McCormack, Krystal McCormack, Arian McCormack, Jenna McCormack, and Dylan McCormack; and great-grandchildren DeShawn, Harley, Savannah, Preston, McKenzie, Russell, and Madison. She also leaves behind her siblings John Fumo, Silvina DaSilveira, Dorothy Fumo, Rose Fumo, George Fumo, and Alfred Fumo.

In addition to her her parents, Dolores was predeceased by her siblings Frankie Fumo, Anna Fumo, Lucy Fumo, Antonio Fumo Jr., and David Fumo; as well as her grandson Christopher "CJ" McCormack Jr.

Calling hours will be held on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, from 04:00 PM to 06:00 PM at Donaghy New Day Cremation and Funeral Care, 465 County Street, New Bedford, MA. For facility directions or memorial register, please visit wwww.newdayfunerals.com
