de Sousa née Hurtubise

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Carmen Vivianne Marie de Sousa, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. She left us peacefully on November 25, 2025, at the age of 76.

Carmen was born in St. Paul, Alberta, and lived a life full of love and purpose. As a devoted family matriarch, she is survived by her husband, Jose de Sousa, and their two children, Lizete (Greg) Dureault and Dean (Katie) de Sousa. Carmen derived immense joy from being a wife, mother, and grandmother to her five grandchildren: Bronte, Hailey, Bianca, Nicholas, and Jacob. She was also a proud great-grandmother to Winter, who was the light of her life. Carmen cherished every moment spent with her family, creating lasting memories filled with laughter and love.

An avid golfer and traveller, Carmen loved spending time with Joe and their family at their summer home in Loule, Portugal. She had a special talent for caring for her loved ones, and her passion for golf was only matched by her love of music.

Carmen’s kindness and generosity touched the lives of everyone she met. She was a mentor to many and often volunteered at local community events, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need.

A Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at 11:00 AM at St. Nicholas Parish, 20675 – 87 Avenue, Langley. Followed by interment at Fort Langley Cemetery. Friends and family are invited to celebrate Carmen’s life and share their memories.

Carmen will be deeply missed, but her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
