Obituary of Daphne Elizabeth DeSouza

DeSouza, Daphne Elizabeth ("Betty") of Glen Head, NY formerly of Glen Cove, NY on December 8, 2020 at Age 81.  Beloved wife of Denis.  Loving mother of Michelle and Marcelle Quail (Pierre).  Dear sister of Norma Sanches, Regina Winkworth, Jacqueline Barrow, Deanna Peterson and George Binning.  Cherished grandmother of 4.  Adored great-grandmother of 2.  Also survived by many nieces and nephews.

Fondly called Betty by her friends and loved ones, her character was defined by her outpouring of love and unshakeable faith. Betty built her life on the rock that is the Lord our God, refuge and fortress. Betty was a creative soul, whose talents ranged from culinary to fashion to interior design. Her style was impeccable, from her careful coiffure to her graceful ensembles and accoutrements. Ever the gracious hostess: a warm meal and friendship could always be found around Betty's table. Betty was a resilient woman who led a remarkable life. She will be missed dearly by all who had the privilege to know her in this life.

Visitation on Friday 2-4pm and 6-8pm.  Mass at St. Boniface Martyr Church on Saturday at 10:00am.  Interment to follow at East Hillside Cemetery.
