Claudette Small Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 15, 2019.
Claudette Jacqueline Small, aged 72, of Chattanooga passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 12 at her residence. Claudette was born in Georgetown, Guyana and even though a frequent visitor to the United States, she made America her home permanently 7 years ago.

Claudette loved her church, where she served as the Treasurer and as a Missionary. Serving as a Missionary allowed her to also fulfill her love for travel, as she had the opportunity to travel to a few countries to do her Missionary work. She also had a very special love for dogs.

Claudette was preceded in death by her parents, Samuel Nichols and Eunice Austin; and brother, Roxroy Nichols.

Those she leaves to cherish her precious memories are her beloved daughter, Michelle (Lonnie) Gladden of Chattanooga; son, Dion Small of the Bronx, NY; sisters, Debbie Paul of Pembroke Pines, FL, Linda Richo and Lorraine Darlington both of Jacksonville, FL; brothers, Roger (Vaulda) Nichols of FL , Aubrey Calder of Belgium, Keith Darlington of St Lucia and Aubrey Darlington of NY; cousin, Veronica (Jerry) Moore of London, England; aunt, Bridget Sam-Bailey of London, England; other very dear "children", nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and friends.

A Visitation will be held on Friday, January 25, from 4:00 to 8:00pm at Advantage Funeral & Cremation Services Chapel, 1724 McCallie Ave, Chattanooga.

Funeral Services will be on Saturday, January 26 at 12:00 noon at St. Paul AME Church, 2514 Williams Street, Chattanooga, TN with Reverend Troy Parris officiating. Burial will follow in Highland Memorial Gardens Cemetery.

I went to Bishops' High School in Guyana with Claudette and worked with her at the Customs and Excise Department. We kept in touch on and off throughout the years but lost touch years ago. Fortunately we were re-united in Guyana last April and I had the pleasure of spending a Saturday afternoon with her reminiscing the old days. Our last Whatsapp message was in November. I am so happy to have spent those precious hours with her last year. May she rest in eternal peace.

I went to The Bishops' High School, Guyana with Claudette. Just over two years ago, we became members of the 70+ Club of the Bishops' Old Students Association and we were able to renew our friendship. May her soul rest in peace.

On behalf of the family here in the UK, Claudette will be missed by us all. Although I could not be with you in person, oceans did not separate us, because I was able to be part of the service by telephone connection. I even sang along with the attendees. Thank you DD for making it possible. Claudette was special to me, and I will miss her. We will miss her.

It was unfortunate that I never got the chance to meet you Miss Claudette! After befriending your daughter I've learned a lot about you and your principles and morals it was just as if I did meet you through you daughter. You did great ma'am!
May you continue to have eternal peace

"I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness or abilities that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." (William Penn). This aptly describes the Claudette I knew, kind and caring, warm and loving, cheerful and peaceful, intelligent and bashful, calm, honest and sincere. It was a pleasure meeting you, farewell until we meet again.
