Catherine Candon de Sousa died on 20th March 2018 at the age of 91 years and she is buried in Dublin, which was her birthplace. For much of the last 20 years of her life she lived close to Russell Square in Holborn, London. She was well known in the locality and worked as a volunteer in the British Museum and the Foundling Museum. She loved to spend time in Russell Square and would often meet friends there when the weather permitted!

Catherine's family and friends are planning to dedicate a bench with a plaque in her memory, which can be visited by family and friends when in London. The cost of this will be £1500 which the immediate family will pay substantially towards, but other friends or family can also contribute using this page.
