Pauline M. Sousa

Pauline M. Sousa (Henderson) of Shrewsbury, MA & Port Charlotte, FL, passed away on February 3, 2026 comfortable and cared for after a brief illness.

Born and raised in Cambridge, MA she married her one and only love Bill after high school and they remained by each other’s side until his death. Her recent wish was to see him again and we hope that came true. She loved music, cooking, decorating and lunch with friends. She wore her favorite earrings until the end of her life and appreciated always looking her best.

She leaves behind her daughter Debra Gerardi and her husband Paul; daughter Brenda Sousa and her husband David Mancuso; three grandsons, William Brewin, Nicolas and Christopher Gerardi; her best friend and companion pup Princess, and friends who loved her. A special thank you to her trusted caregiver and friend, Gloria. 

A Memorial Service will be scheduled at a later date. If you are so inclined, donations can be made in Pauline’s name to a charity of your choice that provides care and love to pets in need.
