Seraphim G Nobrega Jr.

Seraphim G. Nobrega Jr., 85, entered into rest on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at Charlton Memorial Hospital with his loving family by his side.

He leaves behind a legacy of love, dedication, and talent that resonated through his life.

He was the loving husband of 65 years to Fernanda M. (Cabral) Nobrega.

Seraphim had a 46-year career as a textile finisher at Duro Textile.

A proud graduate of B.M.C. Durfee High School, Seraphim's zest for life was evident from an early age. He cultivated his passion for music, learning to play the saxophone and clarinet, which later enhanced his joy of dancing and performing with bands, including the Acerana Band Club. His musical talents were complemented by a remarkable voice, which he devoted to the choir at St. Stanislaus Church, a community he cherished throughout his life and was a long-time member of.

Seraphim dedicated himself not only to his profession but also to his family. He was a skilled woodworker, crafting furniture that became beloved treasures for his loved ones. 

Besides his cherished wife, his family, who were the light of his life, include his daughter Pamela Boulais (husband Steve), and son Christopher Nobrega (wife Carolyn); grandchildren, Anastasia Vezina (husband Donald), Faith Rodrigues (husband Seth), Kim Fisher (wife Anne), Zackary Schwartz (wife Leah), and Wyatt Boulais;

great-grandchildren, Eloise Vezina, Floyd Fisher, Myles Fisher, Cameron Schwartz, Amaya Rodrigues and Annalise Rodrigues; brother Richard Nobrega (late wife Colleen); Goddaughter, Rebekah Pontes; and niece Alicia Correira, nephew Richard Nobrega Jr. as well as several other nieces, nephews and in-laws.

Seraphim was predeceased by his parents, Seraphim G. Nobrega Sr. and Georgina (Costa) Nobrega, as well as by an infant brother also named Seraphim. He was the uncle of the late James Nobrega.

The visitation will be held on Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM at Auclair Funeral Home,  690 So. Main Street, Fall River. His Funeral Mass will follow at St. Stanislaus Church, 36 Rockland Street, Fall River, at 10:00 AM. Burial will take place at Saint Patrick Cemetery.
