Justice of the Peace, registered nurse, state-certified midwife and above all, a loving and devoted family member.
These were a few of the ways Valmay Arthur, sister of former Prime Minister of Barbados Owen Arthur, was remembered during her funeral service on Saturday at St Peter Parish Church.
Julian Arthur delivered the eulogy, revealing that though the health professional had spent significant time during her early career as a nurse in the UK, her roots and heart always remained heavily in Barbados.
“Although Valmay left Barbados physically, Barbados never left the heart of Valmay and any and everything that was to do with Barbados, she was involved in. Be it in London, Manchester, Huddersfield, you name it, and once there was something to do with Barbados she was involved,” he said.
