On January 2, 1958, the world was graced with the birth of a remarkable woman — Claudette Angela Campbell. With deep sadness but also gratitude for a life beautifully lived, we bid farewell to Claudette, who passed away on April 13, 2025.

Claudette was more than just a name — she was a presence. Her warmth radiated through every space she entered, and her strength anchored those around her. She was known for her elegance, kindness, and unwavering dedication to her family, faith, and community. The lives she touched — whether through a kind word, a loving gesture, or steadfast support — are countless.

A devoted mother, sister, friend, and pillar of her community, Claudette embodied resilience and compassion. Her life was a testament to service and grace, grounded in her deep spiritual beliefs and expressed in her unwavering generosity. Her legacy lives on in the stories shared by those who loved her, in the traditions she passed down, and in the countless moments of laughter and wisdom she gave so freely.

A celebration of Claudette's life will take place on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 1 PM at the Bethlehem Assembly Church of God, Constitution Hill, St. Andrew. She will be laid to rest at her family plot, a final resting place that speaks to the roots and bonds she cherished deeply.

Rest in eternal peace, Claudette. Your legacy lives on.

IN LOVING MEMORYOF ANSEL"BONES" BOURNE

 

In loving memory of Ansel "Bones" Bourne, who has left an indelible mark on all who were blessed to know him. Born and raised in the heart of Hope Town Road, St. Andrew, Jamaica, Bones was a man whose spirit shone brightly in every corner of his life. He carried with him a warmth, generosity, and a joy that was as vast as the Jamaican sky itself.

Bones was not just a name, but a symbol of strength, resilience, and unwavering loyalty to his community. His smile was contagious, and his laughter filled any space with light. Whether it was lending a helping hand to a neighbor, sharing stories over a cup of coffee, or offering his advice to anyone in need, he gave without hesitation, with a heart as pure as gold.

The way he embraced life, with an open heart and an unspoken understanding of the world around him, made him a pillar in his family and community. His love for those around him was immeasurable, and his kindness knew no bounds. His legacy lives on in every moment of connection, in every warm memory shared, and in every life he touched.

Though he may no longer walk among us, the footprints he left behind in our hearts will forever remain. We take comfort in knowing that his spirit is forever a part of us. Hope Town Road will never be the same without his laughter, but his memory will continue to guide us through the days ahead, reminding us all of the beauty in kindness, laughter, and love.

Rest in peace, Bones. You will forever be cherished and missed.
