Veirittie Roberts was born in Watt Town, Saint Ann
Jamaica. She was the first child of the late Evadnie and
Nathaniel Reid of nine children. She was married on
September 16, 1970, to Wilbert Roberts, with a total of
six siblings, five of whom are living: Carol, Samantha,
Sheryl, Rosemarie, and Wilbert. Audley has been living
with the Lord for over twenty years, God rest his soul.
From her children came offspring, with twelve grandkids
and three great-grandkids. She also had sisters-in-law,
brothers-in-law and an overwhelming number of nieces
and nephews, whom she loved and cared for.
Veirittie migrated to Canada for a better life for her
family, and after years of living in Canada, she decided
to move to the USA with her sisters and brother: Norma,
Silvia, Angela, Beverley, Dorothy, Alice, and Lionel. Her
brother, Nevel, has moved on to be with the Lord for
over twenty years, God rest his soul. Veirittie furthered
her education and received her certification as a nurse’s
assistant and worked at Workman Circle for over thirty
years. She love the Lord, so she was very happy to find a
church she loved, which was the City of Faith Church of
God, which she attended for over two decades. She had
to stop attending church because of her health, and she
is deeply missed.
Veirittie, or Aunt V as she’s known, was known for
making her Christmas cakes or Jamaican black cakes. She
would also make a mean rum cake and jerk pork, not to
mention her cheese cakes was to die for. She had a stroke
in 2014, which put a pause on her life. Veirittie lived a
great life, but we wish she would stay with us longer. We
take comfort in knowing that Veirittie is surrounded by
the love of the Lord, free from pain, and will be with her
son, Audley, whom she missed greatly, and will see how
beautiful Heaven is together.
Our mother, auntie, sister, cousin, will not be forgotten and will forever live in our
thoughts.
