Maria Lourdes, beloved wife of the late Jose Antonio Sousa and loving mother to Antonio Jose Sousa (Assunçao- predeceased), Aida Zambuto (Alfonso), Suzette Spencer (Clayton), Carlos Sousa (Alice), Marie Tavares (Carlos) and Mark Sousa (Kathy).
Adored grandmother of Candace (Sam), Karen (Marc), Shawn (Wendy), Pamela (Sal), Amy (Vince), Amanda (Ed), Melanie (Steve), Andrea (Nelson), Mitchell, Kyle (Jennifer), Tyrone (Jessica), Jasmine, Sierra and Zachary.
Cherished great-grandmother to 17 adorable great grandchildren.
Maria Lourdes was born on April 1, 1926 in Santa Maria, Azores. She immigrated to Canada in 1967. Since that time, she never regretted the decision to relocate her family from Portugal to provide her children with a prosperous future.
Maria Lourdes was a gentle soul with a heart of gold, and saw the good in everyone. She shared her love of crocheting and knitting with her family by gifting them with beautiful keepsakes. She loved music and often took to the dance floor at family events and gatherings. She adored her family, especially her 17 great grandchildren who brought her so much love and joy.
Maria Lourdes will be sadly missed by her beloved sister-in-law, Lourdes Bento, and her many nieces and nephews. She will be forever remembered by her niece and best friend, Natalia Cabral.
The family would like to thank Pauline Correia, her kind and caring PSW, Dr. Sefin, and finally, the incredible nurses and staff at Innisfree House.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made to Innisfree House in memory of Maria Lourdes Sousa.
