Stephanie Dawn Souza

Stephanie Dawn Sousa Daughter, Sister, Aunt and Best Friend Stephanie Sousa 23, of Peace Dale passed suddenly July 3rd 2014. Born May 21st 1991 in Providence,she was the beloved daughter of Keith and Shelley Sousa. She lived in Peace Dale R.I. most of her life. The only thing Stephanie loved more than her family and friends was her love for her poetry. Stephanie was an avid poet and artist, and collaborated with her father to create a fb page called 'Book of Dreams', just hours before her untimely passing.Their hope was to share her works with the world. Her father plans on keeping her memory alive with the continued printing of her words. You can follow her Dreams at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Book-of-Dreams/237782103098157 The apple of her eye was her only nephew Branden Sousa, whom she adored. Nothing could make us smile more than seeing him run across the yard screaming: "Auntie Stephanie is here", as she stood flailing her arms yelling "Uncle Branden is here", until they crashed into the grass together. Besides her parents and nephew, Stephanie leaves behind her two brothers, Matthew and Derek Sousa,also of Peace Dale. She is also survived by her grandparents, several aunts and uncles, and cousins.
