Our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother was an extraordinary person. Small in stature but great in spirit and strong in character, she had overcome numerous setbacks throughout her life. Under extremely difficult situations, time after time she always devised the most ingenious ways to pull through potential disasters. As a single parent since the 1960’s, she could not raise a family of five children, while fighting illnesses, without being a super smart and resourceful person.
She taught us how to stand up to adversities with bravery, hard work, determination and perseverance. She is loved and admired by all who really know her.
She will be dearly missed by her children Henry (Sally), Andrew, Samuel (Rose), Henrietta (Michael), and Bernice, and by her grandchildren Jeremy (Stephanie), Clarissa, Timothy, Chester (Ana), Jethro, Dylan, Kevin, Stephanie, Camille (Jonathan), and Willie, and by great grand children Elizabeth, Seth, Elijah, and Esther.
