Beginning her career in 1969, she served for nearly three decades in the civil service, rising to the rank of Chief Nursing Officer before her retirement in 2000. Across the communities she worked in, she was known for using her skills selflessly, providing care, support, and compassion to those who needed it most.

But her impact extended far beyond her profession. She was deeply committed to her faith and community, actively involved in church life, health outreach, and local initiatives. She was described as a pillar of strength, a woman whose kindness, generosity, and humility touched countless lives. Her love for others was not abstract – it was expressed through consistent, practical acts of service.

Those who knew her remember a woman who gave wholeheartedly: to her family, to her community, and to anyone in need. Her life was marked by perseverance, dignity, and a deep sense of responsibility to uplift others, even in the face of adversity. As described in tributes, she rose ‘from the ashes of deprivation and seeming hopelessness’ through discipline, faith, and hard work, becoming a source of light to those around her.
