BIOGRAPHY
Lady Martellet Wilhelm was born on 23 May 1918 in Cerro Branco, which at the time was part of the municipality of Cachoeira do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. At the age of 15, she met Eurico Wilhelm, son of the merchant Augusto Wilhelm, at a local dance.
After three years of friendship and courtship, the couple married in 1936. At the time, Eurico was serving in the army and soon afterward moved to São Paulo to study medicine at the University of São Paulo (USP). A few months later, Lady joined him, traveling by train with their eight-month-old daughter.
When Eurico graduated in 1950, he received a cash award for being the top student in his class. He then traveled to Rio de Janeiro, bought a car, and returned with his family to Cachoeira do Sul.
Lady and Eurico were married for 70 years, until Eurico’s passing in 2006. The couple had two children: Suzel, an economist, and Eurico Filho, a real estate agent.
