#TurksandCaicosIslands – January 28, 2019 – Veteran Educator, Community Matriarch and beloved North Caicos resident, Gwendolyn ‘Auntie Gwen’ Williams has passed away in hospital abroad.
The passing of ‘Auntie Gwen’ has drawn a stream of lovingly
expressed ‘sympathies’ over social media.
Magnetic Media joins the choir of condolences, as Auntie
Gwen has always been a warm host, hilarious company and an authentic ambassador
for North Caicos.
Mrs Williams possessed an honesty which had the power to
set you straight, while calling you higher.
She looked into your eyes and your soul when she spoke; nothing phony
there! And when asked how you were doing
by Auntie Gwen, you could tell she really wanted to know and you gave her the
truth, not the rehearsed words someone else might receive.
She rubbed shoulders with country leaders of the highest
stature and got down to play with the littlest of our people. Everyone mattered to her, even my little
David.
I hold dear your advice Mrs. Williams and feel blessed to
have known her and unequivocally I state, Turks and Caicos was enriched to have
had her.
May the family and friends be comforted at this time, we
pray.
