Patricia Maria Jonas was born on September 16, 1955, in Kingston, Jamaica, to Theophilus Walker and Dorothy Elizabeth Walker. She grew up on Jake’s Road in Kingston, where she enjoyed a joyful childhood. From an early age, she was known as a people person who enjoyed being around others and building connections.
Affectionately known as Maria, Sister Pat, and Aunt Pat, she was a loving daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, faith, and devotion to her family and community.
Her faith was at the center of her life. She was deeply involved in her church and devoted to serving God. She believed in the power of prayer and was always willing to pray for others, encourage those around her, and remind people that they were in her prayers. Her faith was reflected in the kindness, compassion, and love she showed throughout her life.
She was a strong woman with a gentle spirit and one of the biggest hearts. She was always willing to lend a helping hand, offer a kind word, and keep her family connected.
Those who preceded her in death: her beloved parents, Theophilus Walker and Dorothy Elizabeth Walker; her husband, France Sr.; her daughter, Tarita Jonas; and her brother, Cyril Walker.
Those left to cherish her memory: her son, France Jonas Jr.; her sisters, Lorraine, Margaret, Marva, and Karlene; her brothers, Michael, Paul, Garfield, and Kevin; her grandchildren, including Keajee; and her great-granddaughter, Ava; along with extended family, church family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched.
Patricia’s greatest legacy was the love she shared, the faith she lived by, and the family she worked so hard to keep together. May those she leaves behind continue to cherish one another, remain united, and build upon the foundation of faith and love she established.
Though she will be deeply missed, her love, prayers, kindness, and spirit will live on through generations.
May she rest peacefully in God’s loving arms. Her faith has left a lasting legacy, and her memory will never be forgotten.
