Dolores S. Sousa

Dolores (Furio) Sousa, 88 of Wilbur Avenue, passed away peacefully on December 31, 2025. Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late Vincent and Rita (Malardo) Furio.

She leaves one daughter Debbie Tiberi (Gary) of Cranston, and two sons Thomas Sousa (Christine) of N. Providence, and Mark Sousa of Cranston; grandchildren Dina Pilloni, Gary Tiberi, Michael Sousa, Stephaine Sousa, and Angelina Sousa. She was the sister of the late Marie Morris, and the late Linda St. Angelo.

Dolores was a woman of constant prayer. When you walked into her home, you would find her praying. She always lifted others up, always trusted in God, and was always grounded in her faith. Prayer wasn’t something she did, it was who she was. Her heart belonged to Jesus, and to her family. Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were her greatest joys. She would light up when she lovingly said their names, showing how deeply she loved each and everyone of them. She was deeply loved in return. She will always be remembered as a spitfire- full of energy, passion, and strength. A fighter in every sense of the word, always battling with courage, faith and the right spirit.

Her Funeral Service will be held on Friday January 9, 2026, at 12:00 pm at the NARDOLILLO FUNERAL HOME & Crematory, 1278 Park Ave., Cranston. Burial will be in St. Ann Cemetery. VISITING HOURS will be from 10:00 – 12:00 pm.
