It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved matriarch, whose life was a testament to love, resilience, and family. Born to the late Joseph Small and Christiana Simon-Small, she was a beacon of strength, embodying the values passed down from generations before her.

She was the devoted mother of Ciril James (deceased), Marva Small, Marceline Small, Judy Small, and Janice Small-Cooper, nurturing her children with unwavering love and wisdom.

Her legacy continues through her cherished grandchildren: Karlene Small-Spencer, Ayinde Small, Coffie Small, Makeda Small, Nsia Williams, Nikeisha Gabriel, Dara Gabriel, Bryton Cooper, Brinisa Cooper, Britney Cooper, and Shelly Ann Julien.

Her lineage extends even further, as she leaves behind great-grandchildren who will forever carry her memory: Zion Spencer, Mitchila Williams, Nkosi Small, Genesis Semper, Nakia Small, Nathaniel Small, Malia Williams, Malaika Williams, Malaki Williams, Melonie Williams, Mahalia Williams, and Mikayla Williams.

Though she has departed, her spirit lives on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her. Her love, guidance, and strength will forever be a source of comfort and inspiration.
