Augulia Joseph

Born on April 1, 1929, in Marchand Dessalines, Haiti, Augulia Joseph was the eldest of six children born to Mr. and Mrs. Casseus Joseph. A hardworking and devoted woman, she worked as a seamstress, nurtured a deep love for animals, and had an undeniable passion for cooking. She cherished every opportunity to return to Haiti to visit her beloved family and friends.

In 1989, she migrated to the United States, where she lived with her eldest daughter and granddaughters in Boston, MA. During her time there, she became a cherished grandmother figure to many of the children whom she had cared for, earning the affectionate title of “Grama” from both family and friends alike. Though she was known for her stern nature, she had a warmth that endeared her to those around her, often creating moments of laughter and joy.

Though she is no longer with us in body, her love and legacy will live in our hearts forever. We will cherish the memories, the laughter, and the lessons that she left behind. Rest in peace, our dear Auguila. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

She was a loving mother to three children: Marie Carmel Joseph-Dixon, Wilner Dolcine, and the late Solon Dolcine.

She was also a proud grandmother to five grandchildren: Dr. Isabelle Joseph, Joelle Joseph- Caudle, Stephane Dolcine-Theodate, Corine Dolcine, and Anne-Kerry Osias.

And a doting great-grandmother to two great-grandchildren: AnnLisa Theodate and Zora Caudle.

She is survived by her two sisters: Mercilia Jean and Cecile Joseph.

Her nephews and niece: Ludsen Jean, Henry R. Joseph, and Medgine Joseph.

And her dear cousins: Iceleane Armand and family, and Kathrine Armand and family.

She was deeply loved by many, and her loss is profoundly felt by her extended family and friends. Her legacy of love, strength, and kindness will live on in the hearts of those she touched.

Family and friends will honor and remember Augulia’s life by gathering for a visiting hour in St. Margaret Church of St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish, 800 Columbia Road, Dorchester, on Friday morning, April 11, 2025 at 9:00 A.M. Followed by a Funeral mass at 10 A.M.

Burial will follow in St. Michael Cemetery, 500 Canterbury Street, Roslindale.
