Annie D'Souza, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend whose life was a perfect mixture of love, compassion, and unwavering dedication for her family and loved ones.

Annie was born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan in a family of six among a large and loving group of relatives.  They were proud to be of Goan heritage.  Annie moved to the U.S. in July 1973 with her husband Zachary and her children, Marilyn and Malcolm (Kathleen), and her mom, Carmeline "Mai".  They made their home in Alexandria, VA which was a block away from their parish of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church where they were very involved.  Any seminarians, deacons, or priests at the parish had an extended home at the D'Souza household.  For the last few years, after Zachary passed away (March 2021), Annie spent time at the homes of her children, where she also was blessed to have an extended family in Holy Spirit Parish.  Annie loved nothing more than to dote on her grandchildren, Jessica (Garrett), Matthew, Maryanne, Rebecca, Victoria (+), and Elizabeth.

Annie passed away to join her loved ones in heaven on October 4, 2023.  She will be greatly missed by all who were touched by her love.  Eternal rest grant unto Annie, O Lord. And let Thy perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.

A private Interment will take place at the Ivy Hill Cemetery, 2823 King Street, Alexandria, VA  22302
