Donneuse Souvenance

With deep sorrow, yet with gratitude for her life, we announce the passing of Donneuse Souvenance on February 8, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was 47 years old.

Donneuse’s favorite scripture, Ecclesiastes 3, reminds us: “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.” Today, we mourn her passing, but we also rejoice in the incredible life she lived and the love she left behind.

Even in the face of hardship, Donneuse never wavered. She faced her battle with cancer with courage and grace, holding onto her faith and trusting in God’s plan. She showed us what it meant to live with hope and to love without condition.

Dodo, as we all called her, beloved wife of Willy Bresil, was born in Petitgoave, Haiti and is the loving daughter of Joseph Souvenance and Meprina Remogene.
