Mabel K. Pimental, 94, Tiverton

It is with great sadness that the family of Mabel K. Pimental, 94, of Tiverton announces her passing on Friday, November 30, 2018. She is predeceased by her 13 brothers and sisters of Tiverton and her late husband, Arthur R. Pimental of Fall River. She is tenderly remembered by her five daughters Patricia Priestner of Naples, Fla., grandchildren Steve and Ronda; Nancy Blanchard of Barnstable, Mass., grandson Andrew; Sheila Pimental of Tiverton; Lynne and husband William Coughlan of Yarmouthport, Mass., grandsons John and James; Cheryl and husband Rick Morgan of Tiverton,  granddaughter Quinn. Granddaughter Chastity and husband Jeff Belanger, great-grandsons, Broderick, Cameron and Maxwell as well as several nieces and nephews.

Mabel was a homemaker and a loving, supportive mother to her children. She also took pride in several part-time jobs where she fostered life-long friendships. She left her Tiverton home and became a resident at SouthPointe Skilled Nursing Facility. She overcame the challenges of this transition by becoming involved in social activities, rediscovering her love of reading, making puzzles and enjoying long talks with new best friends.

She was elected SouthPointe Resident Council President and Treasurer while volunteering at “The Gift Shop.” Mabel fostered a profound purpose to advocate for other residents and through her journey encouraged patients and their families to believe that recovery is possible through the support of caregivers she embraced as family.

Mable attended Calvary Temple Assembly of God Church in Fall River where she taught Children’s Church and hosted countless Sunday dinners for visiting families. She is survived by many brothers and sisters in Christ, her Pastor Joseph Biddle and his wife Judy.

Visitation will be held Sunday, December 2 from 4-6 pm at Pocasset Memorial Funeral Home, 462 Main Road, Tiverton, Monday 9-10 am followed by a Memorial Service and burial at Pocasset Hill Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Calvary Temple Assembly of God, 4321 N. Main St., Fall River, MA 02720.  www.almeida-pocasset.com
