Outing the late Jose Saria Jose Saria, the widow Norton, was a closet Episcopalian. He attended Trinity Church, San Francisco during the last five years when I was rector of the church. He attended our 11:00 AM Holy Eucharist regularly. Jose, the widow, called me one Saturday afternoon and asked if it was all right with me for him to attend church in his widow’s weeds on Sunday. He did not want to offend anyone. I said, “Please do come, most people wouldn’t even notice.” At Trinity, funerals for empresses and emperors of the Imperial Court, Jose, as founding Empress, was last in the recession while the attendees sang “Long live our Nellie Queen.” He was always fun at the coffee hour and even provided some hilarity to my retirement party in 2001. He was a gracious and charming man, widow and empress.
