Dear Clydette,
You set the bar for the most loving, committed daughter to an amazing woman! Every time I was with your mom, it was a stimulating experience. She was so filled with the joy of life and so interested in everything and everyone.
She was a bright star in this universe. My heart goes out to you and all who loved Maria as she will be greatly missed here on earth but welcomed with love in heaven.
The peace of the Lord,
Nancy

I pray that you can feel the love and hugs being extended towards you. You are a great testament of the joy, faith, and strength of your mother.
Much love.

I met Maria through friendship with her amazing daughter, Clydette Powell, and thought "Wow!"
Maria was so vibrant, interested in life and ideas, so vivid in her faith and enthusiasm.
Clydette once said that she had set aside (for a while) the work she loved (global health, TB) for the person she loved.
Clydette, you have run a good race, in loving your mom faithfully to the end.
May the Lord hold you and your family close in this time of bereavement, and know that it is not goodbye but "See you later" by the power and grace of Christ's resurrection.

His Kingdom is being multiplied still because of her faithfulness. Though you miss her now, may your souls rejoice as you visualize your mother rejoicing with her Savoir in full Brazlian style!

Clydette, I met your mom only once, but she left a lasting impression of grace and charm. And the apple did not fall far from the tree.

Maria my friend, rest in peace. We were from two different worlds but she had the knack of making the world so small that distances did not exist. I will really miss her from across the world.

Dear Clydette, We have repeatedly tried to find your dear Mom's funeral on the internet via information we have by e-mail. We are not able to find the funeral service for some reason, but sure wanted you and your brother William to know we read the obituary and realize you had a very special Mom!
The picture of her must have shown her personality in so many ways!
You have many good friends there Clydette and we pray they will continue to uphold you and encourage you in our wonderful Lord!
We will never forget our friendship starting over in beautiful Papua New Guinea!
There is truly PEACE in knowing Jesus!! Colossians 3:15
Love and prayers,
Mike and Debbie Edwards

We too have been enriched by knowing Maria, a vivacious and joyful soul. In our case it was through her daughter, Clydette, faithful and loving to her Mom. The light of Christ has shone through them and made the world just a little bit brighter. Our sympathy and love extend to the family.

I'm so glad I got to meet Maria before the pandemic. I had a lovely breakfast with her at Clydette's home. She told such fun stories and was so very alive. I can imagine she touched many, many lives and will be dearly missed. She is a great example of how to live life to the most.

I met Maria after coming to the Washington DC area in the early 1980s, after meeting Clydette in Pennsylvania, and knowing that Maria and I were fellow Brazilian ex-pats living in this country.
Maria was a delight to chat with, and we shared the love of our first culture and language; she was a wonderful teacher of loving life, an example to us all, and will always be remembered in our family.

Soon after we’ve moved from Brazil to Arlington, we were introduced to Maria by our kind neighbor Laura. At our first party we were already delighted by all the stories Maria told us about her childhood and youth in Rio (as watching from her window former Brazilian President Getulio Vargas walking by the sidewalk, or playing tennis at Copacabana Palace Hotel with our Winblendon female champion, Maria Esther Bueno). She was a wonderful friend during the two years that we’ve lived in USA, and, with her beloved daughter, Clydette, one of the reasons why we came back to Arlington many times. We are very grateful for her joyful and inspiring life and send our love to Clydette and all Maria’s friends that, like us, will miss her deeply. Luciene and Frederico.

We well remember the first time we met Maria--a vivacious and beautiful person who was so engaging even in a roomful of strangers. Her wit and joy for life was infectious. We were to learn (among many other things) that she was a strong and creative woman who loved to write, to serve and to be with people. We loved her and she made us feel loved in return....and Oh how she loved Clydette!
With warmest love~~Adelle and Steve Ritchey

The Wallin family sends our condolences to Clydette and family at the passing of Maria Abbott. We have many fond memories of laughter around meals shared with Maria. Her stories were vivid and inspirational! Maria's energy and enthusiasm for life was apparent in every visit. Her faith was an important part of her daily life. It was a great example to see Clydette care for her mother so well the past several years! A gift to TFC Anglican was made on behalf of Maria.
God's peace and grace to the entire family,
Mitch, Susie, Evan and Carson Wallin
