After a short period of illness, our beloved Adila Joseph passed away peacefully at the age of 68.

Adila was one of seven children born to her late parents, Adrienne Eugene and Alfred De’lhomme. She migrated from Haiti to the Bahamas in 1979 and later to the United States in February 1980 at the age of 23. She arrived with hopes and dreams of building a better life for herself and her family.

Adila was married to the late Willie Joseph for 20 years, until his passing in 2001. Throughout her life, she worked diligently, dedicating many years of service to Eden Roc Hotel, Barry University, and Pinecrest Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

Adila will be remembered for her beautiful smile, her gentle spirit, and her quiet yet vibrant presence. Though introverted, she was full of life, laughter, and experience.
