Dr. Romulo Parente, M.D.

November 16, 1943 — June 20, 2022

Dr. Romulo Parente, age 78, passed away peacefully at his home in Port Saint Lucie, FL on Monday, June 20th, 2022. He was surrounded by his loved ones (wife, children, their spouses and grandchildren). Romulo was also able to meet the youngest of his 8 grandchildren, just before passing. 


On May, 15th he celebrated his 50th Wedding Anniversary, with the love of his life, Sandra Parente. 


Born in Forteleza, Ceará - Brazil, he was the son of the late Jose and Nadir Parente. Romulo had 2 siblings, Eliane and Ronald Parente. His beloved sister, Eliane, passed away unexpectedly at 21 years of age. 


Romulo graduated from the Universidade Federal de Ceará, Brazil, in 1969 with a medical degree. He met his wife Sandra when they were young adults living in the same building complex. They had a romantic date at the beach, and they instantly fell in love. Romulo moved to the United States to finish his medical residency, and shortly thereafter, Sandra joined him, and they got married. Romulo and his wife settled in Altoona, Pennsylvania where they spent the majority of their life raising their 4 children: Eliane Huber, Lynn Parente, Laura Clerie and Billy Parente. Romulo had his own private practice in Altoona and at Tyrone Hospital and worked at the Veteran’s Home in Hollidaysburg as well. After 44 years of practicing medicine, Romulo retired and moved to sunny Port Saint Lucie, FL with his wife. 


Romulo was a caring and knowledgeable physician, beloved by all his patients. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He always made sure everyone was taken care of to the fullest extent. Many would describe him as kindhearted, loving, supportive, giving, funny, charming, and romantic.  He enjoyed planting fruit trees, listening to Forró music, cooking, watching action movies and Brazilian novellas, going to the beach, and playing Canasta. 


A Celebration of Life for family and friends will follow at 3:30 PM at Eliane Huber’s residence, 5116 Scenic Drive, Perry Hall, MD. 


In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to The Alzheimer’s Foundation.

Dr. Romulo Parente, 78 anos, faleceu tranquilamente em sua casa em Port Saint Lucie, FL na segunda-feira, 20 de junho de 2022. Ele estava cercado por seus entes queridos (esposa, filhos, seus cônjuges e netos). Rômulo também pôde conhecer o caçula de seus 8 netos, pouco antes de falecer. 


No dia 15 de maio comemorou seu 50º Aniversário de Casamento, com o amor de sua vida, Sandra Parente. 


Nascido em Forteleza, Ceará - Brasil, era filho dos saudosos José e Nadir Parente. Rômulo tinha 2 irmãos, Eliane e Ronald Parente. Sua amada irmã, Eliane, faleceu inesperadamente aos 21 anos. 


Romulo formou-se em Medicina pela Universidade Federal do Ceará, Brasil, em 1969. Ele conheceu sua esposa Sandra quando eram jovens adultos que moravam no mesmo edifício. Eles tiveram um encontro romântico na praia e se apaixonaram instantaneamente. Romulo mudou-se para os Estados Unidos para terminar sua residência médica e, pouco depois, Sandra juntou-se a ele e eles se casaram. Romulo e sua esposa se estabeleceram em Altoona, Pensilvânia, onde passaram a maior parte de sua vida criando seus 4 filhos: Eliane Huber, Lynn Parente, Laura Clerie e Billy Parente. Romulo tinha seu próprio consultório particular em Altoona e no Tyrone Hospital e também trabalhava no Veteran’s Home em Hollidaysburg. Após 44 anos exercendo medicina, Romulo se aposentou e se mudou para a ensolarada Port Saint Lucie, FL, com sua esposa. 


Romulo foi um médico atencioso e competente, amado por todos os seus pacientes. Ele era um marido, pai e avô dedicado. Ele sempre se certificou de que todos fossem atendidos ao máximo. Muitos o descreveriam como bondoso, amoroso, solidário, generoso, engraçado, encantador e romântico. Gostava de plantar árvores frutíferas, ouvir forró, cozinhar, assistir filmes de ação e novelas brasileiras, ir à praia e jogar canastra.
