Brian Siqueira
Brian Siqueira
October 15, 1948 – April 30, 2020
Brian Siqueira lived the American Dream. He was born in India on October 15, 1948, where he grew up with his brother Nevin Siqueira and sister Lorena Siqueira. In 1970, he left friends, family and the love of his life, Maria Sodder Siqueira, to attend graduate school at the University of Notre Dame. He was taken in by hosts Armand and Jan Paluzzi and became part of their family. After falling in love with America and Notre Dame football, Brian chose to stay in South Bend to start a career in structural engineering. Most fortunately for Brian, he was able to convince Maria to travel across the world and join him. They were married at the log chapel at Notre Dame on January 29, 1972. Brian and Maria settled down in Mishawaka, where they raised Michelle (Joe)Lovechio, Valerie (Ryan) Duhn, and Barry (Jenna) Siqueira.
Brian was the life of the party, and his love of life was contagious. He touched all those that knew him and always welcomed new friends into his life. He had a passion for music, leading his rock band even in his final years. He was a brilliant guitarist and a wonderful pianist.
He had a great sense of humor and loved spending time with his family and friends. He was a loving husband, father, brother, and uncle. Papa was the world’s best grandfather and best friend to Dominic, Louie, Madeleine, Charlotte, Maya and a new grandchild due in November.
Brian lived his life to the fullest. He was loved by many on two continents and made the world a better place. He will be dearly missed.
The mass will be lived streamed via the parish Facebook account, accessible from StMonicaMish.org. The mass will be held Monday, May 4 at 10:30 am.

Betty graduated from Central High School and worked at the First Bank and Trust Co. She and Lew were married November 9, 1941 and enjoyed 74 years of married bliss. After marriage Betty was busy with children, but was also a Crossing Guard and a Campfire Girl Leader. She also worked at General Motors. Later she and Lewis started their own business, Marquette T.V. Sales and Service which they owned and operated for over 35 years.In 1970 they purchased their pastor’s home on Garver Lake in Edwardsburg, Michigan where they enjoyed a wonderful 44 years.
Betty was a great cook and hostess. Her pies were an outstanding feature of her cooking. We have many good memories of baby blueberry pancakes for the grandchildren, cinnamon sugar on toast when we were sick, fresh fried bluegills, perch and sunfish from the lake, and canning, freezing and making apple butter and jams. “Oh my stars in heaven” was a favorite saying and “nighty night, don’t let the bedbugs bite”. She and Lew were always hosting family and friends at their lake home and they both loved boating, fishing, water skiing, ice skating, canoeing, rafting and travel. They spent many years traveling to the boundary waters in Canada for fishing and camping with friends. They were very active in their churches, first at Calvary Baptist in South Bend where they were married, and later in Community Church in Edwardsburg, MI. They taught many Sunday School classes. Betty was involved in Pioneer Girls leadership, Awana Boys and Girls Club, Youth For Christ, and many other responsibilities. Their travels included at least two mission trips, one to Guatemala, and one to a Western Indian Reservation. They traveled to many US states, including Hawaii and to the Caribbean.
Betty is survived by two daughters, Susan (Dennis) Place of Niles, MI and Linda Garcia of Menominee, MI, four grandchildren, Sandra (Kevin) Elliott of South Bend, Andrew Garcia of Menominee, MI, Nathan Garcia of Costa Mesa, CA, and Lisa Garcia of St. Petersburg, FL., two step-grandchildren, Robbie Elliott and Janie Hardesty, four great grandchildren, Aaron Endres, Kayla (Josh) Dickson, Emily Endres, and Alec Garcia, one great great grandson, Jameson Dickson, 2 step-great great grandchildren, and a niece, Janice Jozwiak and nephew, Bob Harke.
