Marriage and children

First Lady of Brazil

In the presidential election in 1898, with Campos Salles he was elected president, serving a term from 1898 to 1902, and Ana Gabriela became the first lady of Brazil, succeeding Adelaide de Morais Barros.

Letter to Catita Alves

Before the end of her husband's term, Ana Gabriella sent a letter to Catita Alves, the eldest daughter of Rodrigues Alves (widower since 1891), Campos Salles' successor. She knew that Catita, her friend, would play the role of first lady for her father.[3]

Alves took care of household chores until 1904, when she married her father's cabinet officer, Cesário Pereira. She was then replaced by Marieta, her sister. Marieta's successor, in turn, was Guilhermina Penna, wife of Afonso Penna.

Death

Campos Sales died on 31 July 1919, aged sixty-nine. The body of the former first lady is buried next to her husband, in Cemitério da Consolação, in São Paulo.[4]
