Octaviano Angel Mora
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Octaviano Angel Mora, who was born on July 16, 1943, in Alausi Ecuador, and went to be with the Lord on January 18, 2025, at the age of 81.
Octaviano was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and Christian missionary, touching countless lives with his faith and generosity. He is survived by his beloved wife, Vilma Antonia Mora; his daughters, Vilma Alexandra Cardona and Doris Elizabeth Swafford; and his sons, Douglas Mora and Paul Michael Mora. His legacy of love also lives on in his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were his pride and joy.
A man of boundless energy and an open heart, Octaviano was always willing to help anyone in need, whether it meant climbing tall trees to trim branches, painting walls, removing bee nests, or simply lending a hand to a friend. His generosity and kindness were matched by his zest for life—he loved to live, eat, smile, hug tightly, and dance with joy.
Octaviano’s deep faith and dedication to God were central to his life. As a Christian missionary, he served in many churches throughout his life, most recently at Holy Trinity in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.
He was a man of many talents and passions. An electrician by trade, Octaviano was also a gifted photographer with a keen eye for capturing the beauty of the world. He loved playing cards—solitaire, poker, and any other game that brought people together. He was a globetrotter at heart, filled with pride for his birthplace of Ecuador but claiming the world as his home, with a deep knowledge of cities and capitals that astounded all who knew him.
In his quiet moments, Octaviano could be found resting in front of the TV, reflecting on a life well lived. He leaves behind a legacy of love, hard work, faith, and joy that will forever inspire those who knew him.
Octaviano’s memory will be honored in a celebration of life service at Keefe funeral home on February 1, 2025.

Octaviano Ángel Mora
Con profundo pesar, anunciamos el fallecimiento de Octaviano Ángel Mora, quien nació el 16 de julio de 1943 en Alausi Ecuador y partió para estar con el Señor el 18 de enero de 2025, a la edad de 81 años.
Octaviano fue un esposo, padre, abuelo, bisabuelo y misionero cristiano devoto, tocando innumerables vidas con su fe y generosidad. Le sobreviven su amada esposa, Vilma Antonia Mora; sus hijas, Vilma Alexandra Cardona y Doris Elizabeth Swadford; y sus hijos, Douglas Mora y Paul Michael Mora. Su legado de amor también vive en sus nietos y bisnietos, quienes fueron su mayor orgullo y alegría.
Hombre de energía inagotable y un corazón abierto, Octaviano siempre estaba dispuesto a ayudar a quien lo necesitara, ya fuera podando ramas de árboles altos, pintando paredes, eliminando nidos de abejas o simplemente tendiendo una mano amiga. Su generosidad y bondad iban de la mano con su pasión por la vida: amaba vivir, comer, sonreír, abrazar fuerte y bailar con alegría.
La fe profunda de Octaviano y su dedicación a Dios fueron el centro de su vida. Como misionero cristiano, sirvió en muchas iglesias a lo largo de su vida, más recientemente en Holy Trinity en Woonsocket, Rhode Island.
Era un hombre de muchos talentos y pasiones. Electricista de oficio, también era un fotógrafo talentoso con un ojo especial para capturar la belleza del mundo. Le encantaba jugar a las cartas—solitario, póker y cualquier otro juego que lo reuniera con los demás. Era un viajero de corazón, lleno de orgullo por su tierra natal, Ecuador, pero afirmaba que el mundo entero era su hogar, con un profundo conocimiento de ciudades y capitales que asombraba a quienes lo conocían.
En sus momentos de descanso, Octaviano podía encontrarse frente al televisor, reflexionando sobre una vida bien vivida. Deja un legado de amor, trabajo duro, fe y alegría que siempre inspirará a quienes lo conocieron.
La memoria de Octaviano será honrada en una celebración de vida que se llevará a cabo el sabado primero de Febrero del 2025 locacion es:
