She will be forever remembered by her beloved children Paulette, Anthony and Delroy; her precious grandchildren Shawn, Adrian, Georgina, Davin, Danika, Kiesha, Reuben, Aisha, Camilla, Chantille and Marquisse and her loving siblings Mavis, Yvonne, Winston, Keith and Everton who will all miss her deeply. She will also be missed by several great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and her church family.
