First born for both parents on April 25th,1938, our higher being bestowed upon us a blessing, Esneth Lee. Born in St. Ann, Jamaica, Esneth enjoyed her youth on her birth Island and later migrated to the United States with great intentions to support her loved ones. Her surviving mother Adlyn Palmer, standing tall at 103 years strong, is a testament to the strength and resilience of the root from which she stemmed. Siblings Rannette, Blassom, Roslyn, Cordel, Halerd, Gifford, Worrel, Claude, George, Vin, and Aston, can attest to her determination and fearlessness.
It was during her early years in Succaba Gardens, St. Catherine, Jamaica, where Esneth Lee further displayed qualities indicative of an Amazon. Known as the family matriarch and always having an alliance with the community in which she resided, Esneth mastered her own education through journeys and paths she strategically selected. All with the intention to be a solid provider. Indeed, her name Esneth Lee, is well suited. For by definition, Esneth represents strength, ambition, independence and reliability, qualities displayed throughout her childhood and beyond.
She inspired all those with whom her path has crossed. She was a fearless thriver. Her work ethic was indicative of a warrior. Esneth Lee, I speak directly to you now as I am confident you are among us now. Your presence radiated and you were effective in the manner in which you tackled the challenge of raising seven children, multiple grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren. Your role as the family matriarch was successfully executed Esneth, for in us, you have instilled values and ethics that are unwavering. Your work is completed. That which you instilled in us, will continue to fuel us to progress and unite.
Her status as a woman is most admirable, as she often chose to embark solo as her own individual. Yet another reminder she was an Amazon Warrior. Loved by her community but a coalition by herself. No alliance with a formal institution, for she was an institution on your own accord. Her name and reputation were recognized by community members, family and friends.
From excursions to town, mango season trips, to adventures in the States, Esneth never ceased to enjoy life at her optimal capacity. Her humor was often decorated by her wit and innate charm. Her love for the color pink reflective of the tender love and care evenly distributed among those she held dear to her heart. When Hurricane Gilbert annihilated our home, like a thriver she rebuilt and ensured our safety. Her love was whole and unconditional. Word on the street is, Esneth had a special place in her heart for her grandchildren in particular.
Esneth was an angel in disguise bestowed upon us for the time being. Now she is at home observing from another dimension. Though her departure on May 5th, 2021 caused distress, we must now accept what is now a reality. Her soul still stands tall, a piece of her forever instilled within us.
To her surviving children Juliet, Lillian, Romeo, Howard, Humphrey, Cecelia, Keddian, grandchildren, greatgrandcildren, siblings, close family, and a host of other relatives, and friends, I beseech you to fret not. Her physical presence is now replaced by guidance from above. We have a personal angel now. For that, we must rejoice and be grateful.
