Born in Waltham, she was the daughter of the late Salvatore A. and Josephine M. (Grassia) Ferro. Susan graduated from Somerville High School with the Class of 1969.

Being a caregiver, Susan felt compassion for everything and everyone. She was always smiling and starting conversations with others. She absolutely loved people. She loved bonding with others, learning about others. Her personality is a trait to cherish. Her warm and jovial presence lit up any room. It was her mission to listen and help people feel better. She was caring, nurturing, and loving without judgement. Susan was "everyone's" mom. She grew to love our friends, her friends' kids, and anyone she met, as her own. She was always pleased to have good company and good laughs. Her love for family was immense. Her heart was always full and open to all family and friends, even strangers. Susan was the type of person who would want to take all pain away from the world, if she could. She believed in peace, love, and unity. She was devoted to her family. She believed in the power of prayer. Susan was an authentic soul with genuine intentions. If she could wrap her arms around this whole world, she would. Her hugs would embrace and take away any pain. She had that gift.

Susan was the beloved wife of Urbano M. "Fred" Souza. They were married on October 14, 1973 at St. Anthony’s Church in Somerville. Together they shared 44 loving years of marriage. She was the devoted mother of Laura E. Souza and her partner Joseph Roy of Ipswich and Brian V. Souza and his fiancée Allison Vaillancourt of Tewksbury.
