## Biography

Elizângela was the youngest of three sisters. Her father was an executive and her mother was a housewife. Her parents split up when she was one and a half years old, and so, she had very little contact with her father. Her mother was a manicurist after the separation, and had to bring up the three daughters alone, with a small pension from the ex-husband. Going through difficulties, she then began working as a child, at the age of 8.
Elizângela died of a cardiac arrest on 3 November 2023, at the age of 68.
