On January 12th Gwendolyn Veronica Ward of Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis, took her final breath, surrounded by her loved ones. The sun rose and the world welcomed Gwendolyn, affectionately known to many as “Gwen”, “Gwenny” and “Granny”, on May 28, 1929, a day the world became a little brighter. Gwen lived a full and warm life, filled with joy. She will be fondly remembered and sorely missed.
Granny always had a big heart to match her wide smile. She had been quite the entertainer, the cook and the baker; the server, the giver and the caretaker.
Gwen was predeceased by her parents Mable Edwards and Rupert Harris, her husband Noel Ezekiel Ward, her sister Dorothy Brown, and a stepdaughter Bernetta Jarvis. She is survived by her children: Annette, Althea, Brenda, Brian and Karen (Ralph); several stepchildren; many grandchildren who include: Michelle, Khanya (Darynne), Tamiko, Tyler, Nathaniel, Carly, Brittany, Addison and Cristyn; and several great-grandchildren who include: Jahfari, Shakir, Danté, Jahmoni, Shomari, Jahniya, Kameron, Keira and Tierra.
Gwendolyn has been an adopted mother and grandmother to many extended family members, friends and strangers.
Granny will be forever loved and forever remembered!
