Eva D'Souza Obituary
Eva D'Souza, wife of the late Edwin D'Souza (Grindlay's Bank) beloved mother of Richard (Riverside County Office of Education) and Edward (Rialto USD) passed away peacefully on August 25, 2015. Eva was an educator for over 40 years teaching at Methodist English High School (Rangoon, Burma) and later at St Xavier's Collegiate School (Calcutta, India). She was also the first woman to serve on the Education Management Committee, a post she held for 12 years. She was strong in her Catholic faith and put her faith in the Lord. Her main expectation as a mother was that her two sons were well educated and exceled in whatever they did. Her dreams were fulfilled and she leaves this earth to be united with her husband, the love of her life of 56 years. Viewing, mass, and burial will be at the same location at Montecito Memorial Park and Mortuary, 3510 E. Washington St., Colton, CA on Wednesday, September 2nd. Public viewing will start at 9:15 a.m., followed promptly at 10:00 a.m.by the Catholic mass at All Souls Mausoleum Chapel, and internment at Our Lady Queen of Peace Cemetery.
