She was a communicant of St. Anthony Church and was a member of the Holy Ghost Society and the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. She enjoyed walking from the Highlands to Shedd Park, and reading. Although she had many passions throughout her life, spending time with her family, especially baby sitting her great grandchildren, brought her the most happiness.

She was welcomed into heaven by her siblings, the late August, John and Herbert Sousa, the late Bella White, the late Doris Wool, the late Tillie DiCintio, the late Clara Sousa, and the late Delores Hobson.
