On Sunday, May 6, 2018, Florence Roberts, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister, passed away at the age of 82. With profound sadness, we grieve our loss but also celebrate her life. A native of Georgetown, Guyana, Florence immigrated to the United States in 1967 to seek a better life for her children, Maureen and Nigel. She worked at St. Mary’s Hospital in Brooklyn for nearly four decades, where her co-workers remember Florence as a nurse’s aide who was dedicated to outstanding patient care. She will forever be remembered by family and friends as a loving person who went out of her way to help others. Florence is survived by her daughter (Maureen, and her husband Robert), son (Nigel, and his wife Carole), granddaughter (Renneta), grandson (Kevin and his wife Jaqueline) and great-granddaughter (Violeta), siblings (Marvin, Kenrick, Patsy, Margaret, Leroy, Patrick, Verne), as well as a host of other relatives and friends.
