Lula's first wife, Maria de Lourdes da Silva, died in labour when Lula was in his twenties and Marisa's first spouse, Marcos Cláudio da Silva, died in 1971.

On 24 January 2017, Marisa Letícia suffered a stroke. She died ten days later on 3 February, at the age of 66 at Sírio-Libanês Hospital.[3][4] President Michel Temer declared three days of official mourning.[5] She was cremated the next day. Her ashes were interred in the Cemitério Jardim da Colina, in her native São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo.[6]
