Victoria Tulloch was born in St. Catherines, Jamaica, to James Tulloch and Agathe Dawkins on December 31st, 1931. My mother shared the story of her birth with me, and as she explains it, it was just minutes to midnight, and her mother was attending a watch service to welcome in the New Year of 1932. She began feeling labor pains, and a member of the congregation notified the pastor. At that point, the pastor advised her she needed to leave, as she could soon give birth. Her mother walked miles to her home and gave birth that night. As a child, she went by the name “Girlie,” but as she matured into adulthood, she would be called “Queen Victoria” by her close family and friends. It was a namesake she rightfully earned. As a young adult in Jamaica, she owned her own grocery store, and when she came to the United States, she was a professional nanny who was entrusted to care for and nurture various youth. She also worked as a nursing assistant at Bronx State Hospital. Over time, she would travel to various countries such as London, Paris, and Canada, As well as places within New York, Pennsylvania, and Boston within the United States to gain knowledge and experience in her endeavors. Victoria had a love like no other for Jesus, and was strong in her faith, and would spread the gospel at the drop of a dime. She carried a deep love of singing and praising the Lord. Victoria had a unique love language and would show a lot of her love through her actions. She took a very active role in the lives of all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a strong believer in a good quality of life and not cutting corners. A strong woman who made the best of what life had to offer her. She will be dearly missed and loved! Victoria Tulloch had five children; her youngest son, Michael, preceded her in death in 1978. Victoria leaves behind: her son, Dennis; three daughters, Dawn, and Marvia, who were devoted caretakers to the end, and Monica; four grandsons, Chris, Sr., O’neil, Ashton, and Winston, Jr.; great-grandchildren, Chris, Jr., and Madyson; and a host of other relatives and friends.
