12th July 1931 - 19th November 2020
Our dear friend Jocelyn Henry passed away peacefully at her home in the early hours of the 19th November. Jocelyn had been coming to St James’s for many years, and was not only a member of the congregation but also a volunteer receptionist in the Rectory.
In later years, Jocelyn would come to church every Thursday to fold the service sheets in preparation for each Sunday, and was beloved among the Rectory staff as well as among her many friends on Sundays.
Jocelyn was also a member of her local Quaker meeting and alternated attendance between St James’s and the Quakers.
She was a beautiful, mischievous, incisive and strong person, who had experienced many challenges and adventures growing up in Antigua, living in the UK, and also travelling extensively all over the world. Many of us will cherish memories of her playful seriousness about life and living, her curiosity and resilience when faced with ill health or frailty, and her determination to find love and positivity in any situation she was in.
Her funeral service will be held at St James’s under government restrictions in due course, but will be streamed online for all those who will be unable to attend.
May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
