Anna Bernadin est née le 18 mars 1950 à Port-à-Piment, sur la côte sud d'Haïti. Elle était la fille d'Oriman Bernadin (décédé) et de Matilia Morose (décédée). Elle avait 2 frères: Horleman (décédé), Saurel Bernadin et 3 sœurs : Germaine, Nicole et Anne Marie.

Anna a vécu une vie définie par l'amour, la force et une dignité tranquille. C'était une femme profondément compatissante dont la présence apportait réconfort et chaleur à ceux qui l'entouraient.
Anna était une mère dévouée pour son unique enfant, Edwin Bernadin, qui était le centre de son univers. Elle était fière de son rôle de mère et nourrissait sa famille avec patience, sagesse et soin.

Tout au long de sa vie, Anna était reconnue pour son cœur généreux et sa résilience. Elle a été bénévole à la Coalition Saint Joseph à Elizabeth, dans le New Jersey, pendant de nombreuses années. Saint Joseph était véritablement comme une seconde famille pour elle. Anna a consacré sa vie à aider les autres, même si elle était parfois incomprise et exploitée par certaines personnes.

Anna nous a quittés le 26 décembre 2025, après 10 mois de souffrance et de lutte pour rester parmi ses proches. Bien qu'elle soit partie pour son repos éternel, sa mémoire continuera de vivre dans le cœur de sa famille, de ses amis et de tous ceux qui ont eu la chance de la connaître. Elle nous manquera profondément et restera à jamais dans nos mémoires.

Anna, may you rest in the peace of the angels
and know we miss your gentle,
loving strong ways.
Edwin, I witnessed how much Anna loved, firmly parented and took care of you. Please know my love and prayers are with you during this time.

To all of Anna's family: Anna poured out her love and worked very hard
at St Joseph Social Service Center in Elizabeth, NJ, where Sr. Jacinta Fernandes OSB and I lived and worked for many years.

We encouraged her to gather and send clothes, etc. to her family
in Haiti.

Anna, I am grateful our paths have crossed and for our friendship. You were like a second mom to me. You will be missed dearly. Fly with the angels, no more pain, no more suffering. You are now with our Heavenly Father. Until we meet again. Love you always.

I had the pleasure of working with Anna at St. Joseph Social Service Center. Although I only knew her for a short while, Anna was always kind, loving, and willing to do whatever task was asked of her. May she rest in peace. Sending peace and love to Anna's family at this sad time.
