You came across my heart and here you are with the Lord! My deepest condolences to the family. We would play scrabble at work and I knew when she was working it was going to be a spirit filled tour. 

Thank you Lord for sister Shirley



Honey, 
You came across my heart tonight and I goggled you. You precepted me in the ED with that infectious smile and spirit of excellence. Rest my sister in Christ until we meet again smiling!

Shirley was my batch mate and very close friend in nursing school at UHWI School of Nursing.  She was a brilliant, warm, caring and upbeat friend. Always on the bright side of life.  She was a person to be loved and admired.  A real gem is lost.  My condolences to the Jarvis family. I never had the opportunity to meet you but I know Shirley made you proud.
May she Rest In Peace until the Lord wakes her❤️.

To the family of Shirley.  May the Lord gives you strength as you go through this difficult time.  Please take comfort in the fact that her life touched many people. 

Shirley was my batchmate in nursing school. She was very friendly and pleasant person. One night she braided my hair for me before I went to bed I kept the braids in for almost one week

Rest in peace dear Shirley, I'll always remember your bright and beautiful smile  

I met Shirley in 1978 in Kingston, Jamaica where we both trained as Registered Nurses (Batch 82). She’s  a brilliant, articulate, kind, dedicated nurse.  Together we organized our Ecumenical service and were planning a reunion this year.  When I migrated to the USA she welcomed my daughter Heather and I into her home where we met her family. She invited me along with her other girlfriend to Antigua where we went to the Governor’s ball and the Independence celebrations.  We traveled together to London and Paris, latter of which, she was my French translator.  Her family loved to bake; I remember Mother Jarvis and Kenneth baking for us. Shirley even fixed my daughter’s wedding cake when we had a “mishap” on her wedding day.  She last texted me in June about current affairs. I wish I could have been there for her in her last days.  However the wonderful memories we share  will forever be in my heart. On behalf of my family and my batchmates I’d love to express my condolences to the Jarvis family.  Shirley, sleep in peace my sister. 

My memory of Shirley started when we worked together at Scotiabank Antigua. Vivacious and outgoing, thoughtful and caring. Like Paul the apostle she fought a good fight, kept the faith and finished her course. May her soul Rest in Peace and rise in glory. Condolences to the family, loved ones and friends. Regards Janice Reynolds. 

Shirley Jarvis my Shining Star

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincerest sympathy to the Jarvis family on the passing of their beloved Jennifer Shirley.

Shirley began working at LIAT as an intern after completing high school, she worked as the switch board operator for the General Manager of the company.  When I first met her I addressed her in French, “Enchanté de vous rencontrer, jeune femme” and her eyes sparked with a bright smile as she answered “merci monsieur – do you speak French?”, realizing that she understood French, I continued our conversation in English, trying not to embarrass myself. At that moment, I realized that this young lady was a star in the making.  We eventually started an intellectual relationship, as she was interested in all things educational.  We would talk for hours about current local and world events, geography, literature, movies, music, physics, and poetry. She loved the movies especially “The Sound of Music” telling me she had seen it 10 times. She would ask me about my travels to Europe, the United States and the other Caribbean Islands I had visited; she had a million other questions, she was a sponge for knowledge. One day, she told me that her mother had invested in her education, as she was the brightest child in the family and that her goal was to bring her whole family out of poverty.  This was remarkable coming from an 18-year-old.  I decided to accommodate her wishes. Shirley went on to fulfill that desire.  We kept in touch throughout the rest of her brilliant life; I will be forever grateful for knowing her.  I will register a star in her name so she will continue to be a shining light into eternity.

Eternal rest grant unto Shirley, O Lord.  And let perpetual light shine upon her.

Your forever friend,
Rowan

Shirley and I attended Christ the King High School in Antigua.  My memories of her is a very pleasant person who didn't let anything bother her. My classmates and I are saddened by this loss.  My condolences to her family.

Condolences to Cheryl and the rest of the Jarvis family from the Samuel family. 

To the family of Shirley Jarvis,  I worked closely with Shirley over the past few years.  She was a women of FAITH and FAMILY.  She always spoke so fondly of her nephew, niece and sister.  She  was also a compassionate Nurse and did whatever she could to help as best she could.   She was a hard worker and had a strong work ethic.  She would walk into  the office with a pleasant good morning.  Speech always clear and articulate.  When something was funny she would give a good laugh.   I will miss you Shirley!  Praising God for your life and the Impact you had on many.  
Family, may God give you grace and peace during this time!

I met Shirley in 1987 while on a year long internship in Washington, D.C. She was always positive, warm and caring  Later, in 2001, I moved to DC for work and Shirley offered her home until my apartment was ready. One could not wish for a more caring cousin, whose selfless acts touched one in the most fundamental way. Family meant everything to Shirley. I will always remember our last conversation, two weeks before you fell ill. Cuz rest in peace. Know that you will be missed but your led by example and we got the lessons of love, family. determination and an unwavering belief in God. We got this!

Love always from Rose and her entire family.


Shirley Jarvis was a Wonderful Woman.  She always had a glow and kindness about her.  We worked in a Call Center.  She came to work all day, every day.  She was friendly and accessible, and there to help.  She was always there to help with the most difficult of calls.

                                                                                         Sincerely,

                                                                                          John T. Bruton, II
  

I am a co worker of Shirley.  I remember her as a very proud and independent woman.  When she first started with the Nurse Advise Line, I would worry she would fall as she was unsteady on her feet.  It took me months to finally talk her into using a simple cane.  I also found she had a very loving extended family.  I came to know Reece who like her is very friendly and helpful to others.  He is a gentleman. He would carry her valise to her desk and if I or someone else was nearby would bid us a good morning.  At the end of the day, he would be there waiting to pick her up.  Always like her- that beautiful smile.
She was a  Quiet Woman who had a lot of passions.  When the hurricane struck her country several years ago, she was collecting batteries to send for the needy.  She did a lot for the needy, but never boasted of the great things she did.
She will be missed because she is one of those that truly lived her life by the bible.  She will be missed not just by her family, but those she touched.

My sincerest condolences to her family.

With Deepest Sympathy and Prayers to Shirley’s  Family. Shirley was a Co- worker at VAMC. Praying that God will Give you Peace and Strength to make it through each difficult day ahead. 
I'm going to miss my friend Shirley Ann as I would call her. Her smiling face would always light up any room. She was such a joy to be around. I send prayers and condolences to the family and her extended friends .We have indeed lost a jewel and heaven has gained one of its angels.

Shirley was a great coworker.  Enjoyed the many years we worked together.  May God comfort you at this time and may you find comfort in your memories of Shirley.  God has called her home, may she Rest In Peace until that glorious morning when there will be no more tears or sorrow.

To the family of Shirley, I am sending you all my deepest condolences, may God strengthen your family during these difficult days, remember, to be absent of the body, places you in the arms of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

God Bless,
Tudy
