It is with a heavy heart that we announce the death of our beloved Mother Angela Pynn, born November 21 1967, who passed away on the 6th of December after fighting her hardest to over come a traumatic brain injury. Jesus decided she was of more use in heaven, at his side, where she is at peace and no longer suffering. A woman of blind faith in the lord, Angela wasnt without hurdles in life, but that didnt stop her from raising two wonderful boys, now men, Dustin and Donovan. A woman of great morals, no matter the situation, nothing was stopping her from being the best mother she could, whilst still working overtime to attain 3 post graduate degrees, instilling the importance of education on to her kin. Angela is survived by her children, Donovan(melanie)Max, cole, rosie. Dustin and his children Ciara, Caleb, Brothers Wally(keith) terry and andrea and Ivan and his children Jordan Brandon and Gina. The family would like to thank the medical teams at both the health sciences center in St. johns and nurses here at Curtis Hospital . She is laid to rest at the old anglican cemetary along side her mom and dad. A formal service will be held later next year with dates tba
"And all thy childrenshall be taught of the lord: and great shall be the peace of thy children"
God bless
