Sequera, a fourth-generation Coastsider and 44-year resident of Half Moon Bay, died Sept. 27 at age 63 at her home, following a courageous battle with ovarian cancer. Born in Stockton, Mrs. Sequera worked as a travel consultant for 24 years, including the last 10 years with Escapades Worldwide Travel in Half Moon Bay. She herself loved to travel, and was known for taking her family, particularly her grandchildren, on memorable vacations including yearly trips to Disneyland, jaunts to Hawaii and cruises. "She spoiled (her grandchildren) with limousines," said her longtime close friend, Stacey Reimche of Escapades Travel, whose two children were Mrs. Sequera's godchildren. According to her family, Mrs. Sequera was devoted to family, friends, and her community, a caring and giving person who touched many lives. She was involved with many organizations, including local Portuguese organizations UPPEC, SPRSI and the I.D.E.S. Society. Mrs. Sequera is preceded in death by her husband of 43 years, Alvin Sequera, who died in November 2003. She is survived by her daughters, Mary Sequera of Dublin and Diel (and husband Steven) Hutchins of Half Moon Bay, and adored grandchildren Allie Denyko, Danielle Hutchins, Morgan Hutchins and Gunner Anthony. Mrs. Sequera is also survived by her sister, Antoinette Bertolotti of Tracy, and brother Antone "Butch" Coelho of Oakdale, and aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and godchildren. A funeral Mass was celebrated Sept. 30 at Our Lady of the Pillar Catholic Church in Half Moon Bay, followed by private interment in Tracy. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations to the Coastside Adult Day Health Center, or to a cancer-related charity of choice.
