In 1998, she attempted re-election as a State Deputy, but ultimately failed to secure enough votes for a new term.[4]

In 2002, Moreira tried to reclaim her Legislative Assembly of Paraíba seat lost at the previous elections. Once again she wasn't able to secure enough votes in order to be elected.[5]

In 2004, she was elected Mayor of Itabaiana. Her first tenure went from 2005 to 2008.[6][7][2]

In 2008, she was re-elected Mayor of Itabaiana. This time she remained in office between 2009 and 2012.[8][1][2]

On 1 July 2020, Moreira died in João Pessoa at the age of 81 from complications brought on by COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.[2][9]
