Beryl Sylvia Greasley Rose passed away peacefully on January 18, 2026. She was born on June 15, 1935 in Grenada, West Indies, to Malcolm and Sylvia Greasley. Beryl was a cherished, beautiful soul whose kindness, love, and strength touched the hearts of everyone who was blessed to know her.

In addition to her parents, Beryl is preceded in death by her husband of 45 years, Eric, her brother Carlyle, and her sisters Hermione and Jocelyn. She is survived by her children Marcia, David, and Carlyle, son-in-law Edwin, daughters-in-law Cheryl and Sandra, grandchildren Nicole, Jonathan, Andrew, Sammy, Carla, Olivia, and Ella, granddaughter-in-law Alyssa, great-grandchildren Aiden, Jaxon, and Jalyn, sisters Marion and Evlyn, niece Karen, and nephews Cecil, Geoffrey, Richard, and Malcolm.

A woman of strong Christian faith, Beryl trusted God in all seasons of her life. She was an active member of St. George's Anglican Church in Grenada and a member of the Mother's Union. Later when she emigrated to the United States she continued her service at Church of Good Shepherd Fort Lee, Christ Church Hackensack, and St. Matthew's Church Paramus as a member of the altar guild.

Her 20 year career as a Senior Public Servant for the Government of Grenada ended when Beryl emigrated to the United States in 1978 with her husband and their three children. She made the most of her new life in the United States; she started a brand new career at Prentice Hall Publishing Company where she worked as a Customer Service Manager for 15 years.

She had a passion for politics, reading, and sports, going so far as to learn the rules of multiple sports. She was an avid fan of college and professional basketball and football, always rooting for her New York Giants.

For Beryl, family was everything. She was a loving wife, devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

She was known for her quiet strength, kindness and unwavering commitment to her family. She celebrated, cheered and supported every achievement and milestone, and loved sending greeting cards just to let you know she was thinking of you.

Even as her health conditions worsened later in her life, she embraced every challenge with strength and grace. Beryl will be remembered as a leader, a mentor, a survivor, a friend, and the Matriarch of our family.

Sleep in eternal peace, dear Mum. You will be forever in our hearts.
