Obituary For Maria Severina D'Souza
Maria (Laura) D’Souza aged 87 of Fremont, CA passed away on July 31, 2016. She was born to the late Joseph and Josephine Martin in India on January 23, 1929.
She was preceded in death by her husband Mark D’Souza. She is survived by her sons Gordon (Sharon) D’Souza of Lewisville, Texas, Gavin (Michelle) D’Souza and grandchildren Kimberly and Rebecca of Auckland, New Zealand, daughter Gail (Brian) Lutgen of Fremont, California, and her sister Lucy Antonio of Bristol, England. She also leaves behind other loving relatives and friends all over the world.
She was an active member in the local community and volunteered her time in the rectory at the Holy Spirit Catholic Church. She was a member of the Senior Centre in Fremont and a member of the Goan Institute.
She could carry on a conversation with total strangers and somehow put them at ease. She put others before herself, and throughout her life, she maintained a sweet and simple demeanor that won the trust and hearts of many. Her gift of innocence and joy, her constant smile, laughter, and spunky sense of humor will never be forgotten.
Viewing will be held on Saturday, August 6th, from 12:15-12:30pm and a Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 12:30pm at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, 37588 Fremont Blvd., Fremont, CA 94536.
Donations (if any) can be sent to Abode Services, 40849 Fremont Boulevard, Fremont, CA 94538. The website is http://www.abodeservices.org/

Dear Gordon, Gavin and Gail... To all of you my deepest sympathy on the passing away of a most wonderful mum. Laura was always so cheerful hardworking and made so many sacrifices to bring you all up.. With much difficulty and I always admired this.. She did it with such joy and pride in her children. May God grant her peace.
