Obituary

Laurinda Maria De Sousa passed away peacefully at the Toronto Western Hospital at the age of 85 with her family by her side on November 11, 2021. She was born on March 27, 1936 in Sao Miguel Açores. Our mom was dedicated to her growing family of four children and her husband. A kind, caring, compassionate and giving mother who dearly loved her husband, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Our mother's dedication to her faith never failed and she raised us to love God. Remembering our mother in our prayers brings comfort today and always. Beloved wife of Dinis De Sousa, mother of Jamie, Laura, Dennis and Mary Jo. Cherished grandmother of Andrew, Shannon, Matthew, Samantha, Brandon and Chelsea and cherished great grandmother of Anaya, Luka, Amari and Kai. If desired, donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association in memory of Laurinda would be very much appreciated by our family.
