Elenore Carr Granville
Elenore (as everyone knew her) was born on
June 30, 1943 in the New York Hospital in New York City. She is the daughter of the late John Climpson Granville, her father and to Mildred Agatha Granville, her mother whom preceded mom in death.
They had 5 children, Elenore’s 3 brothers
Winston, Stromme and James Carr Granville whom also preceded her in death. She is survived by 1 sister Julia A.
Pegram; Elenore is also survived by her
3 children, Stephanie E. Meo, Henry John Jackson and Ajewel Granville;
daughter-in-law Rose Wesonga Jackson; 10 grandson, 2 granddaughters, 2
great-granddaughters and 1 great-grandson.
Both her parents were born in Jamaica,
West Indies, the family took residence in Harlem to raise their children. She graduated from Commerce
High School in New York and went to St. Francis College for nursing, nursing
health administrator where she graduated with both Bachelor of Science degree
and her Masters degree. She became a registered nurse and worked at these
hospitals to name a few: Bellevue, Elmhurst and New York Hospital where
she worked as a charge nurse and retired from her nursing career as a Nurse
Administrator. Elenore also lived in
Jamaica West Indies with family and later Los Angeles, California Where she
continued to excel in her career as a nurse before returning back to New York.
She was very loyal to her staff and patients. Never wanted to leave both and patients without encouraging them and sharing about her (our) Lord Jesus Christ when she had a moments chance. Mom said, “no patient ever died on her watch while she was their nurse”. She was loved by her staff and every patient she cared for. Indeed, she was truly a nurse; this was her true calling. Once a Nurse, Always a Nurse. Momma said that God called, chose her to be His very special nurse. Well Done My Good and Faithful Servant, Come on Home.
Our mother’s life touched the hearts of every person she ever came in contact with; family, dear friends, family of God, nursing co-workers, superiors, patients. Those that were touched by mom understood that mom was very strong, independent woman, in all that she did.
Her greatest call of all was her
relationship with the true and living God Almighty through our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Her light shone wherever she went, shared her faith with all those she
came in contact with, never ashamed of her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Even to her final days in the hospital mom
was able to share her faith.
Elenore and her daughter Ajewel moved to
Florida in the 90’s to be joined several years later by her daughter Stephanie
and her children. Also her son Henry
John (Johnny) and his family. She
enjoyed the years she lived in Florida until she moved to Marietta, Georgia,
October 5, 2012. Mom resided 10 years in
Georgia and in her final months relocated back to Clearwater, Florida hoping
her next move will be back to Orlando: City Beautiful which she would live until
God called her Home
Elenore accomplished as a little girl,
playing the piano to where she played in Carnegie Hall and was well recognized
for her talent. In her adulthood she
worked on a charitable organization “International Childcare Conference “The
Womb” to feed and care for mothers and children in need of assistance with
food, shelter, and healthcare. She wrote
a book “The Cry of a Nurse” re: shortage of nurses, and how important nurses
are.
Her biggest venture is when she went on
her 2 favorite game shows, “Let’s Make A Deal”, Wayne Brady “The price Is
Right” Drew Carey for her 70thbirthday with her family. Drew Carey came to her personally and wished
her Happy 70th Birthday, hugged and kissed momma. What a birthday! Mom continued on through the years to enjoy
her game shows. We would sit and watch
them with her especially when Stephanie, her older daughter came to visit. What joy would come over her to have her game
show buddy with her: Stephanie. They
also watched Christian T.V., had great times in the Lord rejoicing. Prayers
were very important, reading, studying the Word.
Mom enjoyed a couple of other shows such
as TLC – 90 days where she and her
younger daughter Ajewel watched and had good laughs with. Our brother Johnny
would watch more action movies with her. The best is when the grandchildren,
great grands visited and enjoyed and spoiled them. Her children, grandchildren, great-grands,
her sister Julia’s family was most blessed and valuable gift to her from
God.
When mom transitioned home to Heaven my
sister Ajewel and I were with her. Mom
held on waiting for Ajewel and to get to the hospital. We were blessed to have a few hours with her
where we loved all over her still believing and praying mom would make it
through and she did: God’s Way! He has
other plans for mom. Well done my Good
and Faithful Servant, come on Home.
We love you Momma, Grandma, Sister,
Auntie, Cousin, dear Friend and will never forget you. You’ll always and
forever live in our hearts, minds, memories. Mom taught us her children,
grandchildren to great grandchildren to love God, yourself and others. To be strong, independent, educated, career,
compassionate, kind, be a blessing to others, never forget our African
American, Caribbean, Cuban, European heritage, but most of all our heritage in
Christ Jesus; most important! Our
spiritual life just like all areas in our lives is very important. Jesus the
way, the truth, the life!
We Love You Momma! Sleep In Heavenly Peace Momma!
Till that blessed day, we all meet again in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Amen!

Yolanda Castro Sanchez
Yolanda Graduated from
the University of Puerto Rico where she obtained her bachelor’s degree in
nursing. Following graduation, she worked at Hospital Damas in Ponce Puerto
Rico and VA hospital in Orange County New York. Apart from nursing she enjoyed
cooking for her family especially around Christmas, during this time she would
make authentic Spanish foods, a variety of cheesecakes and coconut flan.
Yolanda was at the happiest when she was eating, singing and dancing parranda for Christmas with family and friends. She would dance to any kind of music she could move to. Another joyful moment in her life was watching American Football. She was a Giants fan. Whenever they played, she would scream and jump in excitement. They played Sunday and won.
Miss Yolanda was also
best known for looking fabulous. She always had her hair and nails freshly done
and painted red. She always wore heels, something sparkly, red lipstick, black
eyeliner and the biggest most beautiful smile. She had a contagious laugh that
would make everyone else laugh. She was also known and will always be
remembered for her snoring that only Carlito inherited.
Miss Yolanda was the
definition of a woman that would give you her last dollar. She would take care
of anyone that was sick no matter how she felt. She was the queen of scratch
offs and yes, she would win. If she gifted you a scratch off you’d most likely
win. Both Carlito (her son) and Justin (her grandson) could attest to that.
This Beautiful soul we all lost was one of the strongest woman we’ve ever
known. When she puts her mind to something there’s no such thing as can’t. Her
advice to everyone is if you worked hard and put your mind to it, you can
accomplish anything.
Yolanda will be
remembered for so many things, especially the way she treated everyone. It made
us all feel like we were her favorite. Today we wish you farewell in your
journey to eternity. You are forever in our hearts. Until we meet again.
Goodnight, goodbye and sleep tight.
