Just learnt that Sushila D'Souza, wife of former Indian ambassador (and Goanetter) Placido D'Souza of Anjuna/Poona, passed away yesterday, July 17, in a New York hospital, after a brief illness.
An announcement said the funeral will be tomorrow. The family will receive friends at Frank E. Campbell, The Funeral Chapel 1076 Madison Ave, At 81 Street, New York, NY 212-288-3500 1 pm to 3pm. Church service at 4pm at Holy Rosary Church, 365 Undercliff Ave, Edgewater, New Jersey 201-945-6329 In lieu of flowers the family has requested that donations in her memory be sent via PayPal to dsouza...@gmail.com. Donations will be forwarded to her favorite charities in India. Sushila is the mum of Jacinta Sequeira and Lucia D'Souza -- two very early Goanetters (mid-1990s) whom I met on a recent visit to Goa -- and Francisco D'Souza and Maria D'Souza Walters. My condolences -- personal and on behalf of Goanet -- to the family.
