Biography
Lula's first wife, Maria de Lourdes da Silva Ribeiro, died in labour in 1971 when Lula was in his twenties. [5] Marisa's first spouse, Marcos Cláudio dos Santos,[6] had died in 1971 during a robbery assault.
In March 1974, Lula had an illegitimate daughter, Lurian, with his then-girlfriend, Miriam Cordeiro.[7] The two never married.[8]
Two months later, in May 1974, Lula married Marisa Letícia Rocco Casa, a 24-year-old widow whom he had met the prior year. He had three sons with her, and adopted her son from her first marriage.[7]
On 24 January 2017, Marisa Letícia suffered a stroke. She died ten days later on 3 February, at the age of 66 at Sírio-Libanês Hospital.[9][10] President Michel Temer declared three days of official mourning.[11] She was cremated the next day. Her ashes were interred in the Cemitério Jardim da Colina, in her native São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo.[12]
