An angel walked among us and her name Evangeline. Mary Evangeline Jordan (nee Boyce), or Vesta as she was often known blessed us on December 10, 1935 and was called home July 15, 2025. Born to Amelia Boyce (1985) and Charles Leacock (1993), in St. Lucy Barbados, she was the 5th of 9. Her brothers and sisters were a treasure to her, and she kept close bonds with each of them although they resided in different countries – always making special efforts to visit as often as she could. She cherished her daughters Verna (Grantley), Ingrid (Mac, 2023), Lorna (2013) and the families they created. A life of joyous splendour, she lived each day embracing the blessings and love of God, in service and humility, and welcomed the adventures that came along the way. Adventures created and embraced with her one and only Leroy. Theirs is a love story of over 50 years that formed a home, a life, and the kinds of memories dreams are made of. His children David (Cassandra), Angela (Fabian), Timothy, and Deighton were all loved deeply as her own. Grandmother of 13, great-grandmother of 8 and great-great grandmother of 5, the roots of her tree extend deep and wide and her legacy will live on through every branch. Faithful child of God, loyal and trusted friend, loving mother, protective grandmother, devoted wife; though out of sight, Evangeline’s touching influence will never be out of heart.
