Her presence was a blessing, and her legacy is measured not in years, but in the countless lives she touched. She had a gift for making people feel seen and valued. Her smile lifted burdens, her words offered comfort, and her heart gave freely without ever asking for anything in return. One of the purest ways she expressed her love was through cooking. The kitchen was her place of giving, where she poured her soul into every meal. Feeding others was not just something she enjoyed-it was her purpose. If she could have fed every child in the world, she would have done so with joy and without a single complaint. Every dish she made was an act of love, a reminder that kindness can be tasted as much as it can be felt. She was also a woman of deep and faithful Christian devotion. When she made the commitment to serve God, she never looked back. She honored Him with her life and carried His character in all she did. She lived as though her life might be the only Bible someone would ever read-and through her example, many came to understand the power of grace, love, and faith. Her compassion knew no limits, her generosity no end. Though her absence leaves an ache we cannot put into words, her spirit remains with us-reminding us to live gently, love deeply, serve faithfully, and walk humbly with God. To honor her is to carry forward the love she so freely gave and the faith she so boldly lived. Her life was a beautiful gift, and for that gift we give thanks. She will be missed beyond measure, but her love and her faith will remain forever. Her legacy and love will live on through the lives of Her 6 children: Raymond Ward, Maureen Simmonds (Robert), Vernon Simmonds (Diane), Hazel Simmonds, David Williams (Sharon) Dianne Chambers (Jerry). Her Grandchildren; LaToya, Marques, Taylor, Samara(Jonny) , Norris (Jonette), Camisha, Lashanda, Ebony, Jabari (Erica), Jabalia, Kyle, Julius, Tishana, Bryan (Marsha) Tia, Jahmal (Carolyn) Marius, Tela, Keera, David Williams Jr, Sion, Christinia, Davianna, DeVondra, Cheyenne, Phillipa, J.C, Jerdane, (Shenika) Akeila, Natalie (Quantary) Michael-Anthony, Chavela, Her Great Grandchildren; Harlem, Hunter, Marquel, Ayden, Arielle, Savanna, Raydreon, Ayanna, De'Andre, Zamiyah, Tramarcus, Arnell, Ja'lynn, JaNyla,, Tristan, Aa'Myah, Zoee, Zykeem, Zanee, Zalaya, Aaliyah, Arianna, ZaNiyah, Lyria, De'Mani, Jazaria, Zendaya, Khamik, Ti'Ahri, Yemaya, Layla, Autumn, Jaquae, Kase, Chaise, Ja'leah, Sayr, Sayon, SaNaa, Ja'Quile, Blaise.
