Delores Carmen Bryan, 75, of Ajax, Ontario, passed on March 24, 2022 in Kingston, Jamaica.

Auntie Carmen as she is affectionately called by her extended Canadian family, was born in Toll Gate, Clarendon, Jamaica to Algalita Taylor & Lyndon Bryan who both preceded her. The only child to her mother who passed away when she was 3 months old.

As an only child, Auntie Carmen created a large family of her own. She leaves behind nine children – Ann (Lascelles); Jacqueline; Michelle; Dawn (Hanif); Richelle (John); Richard (Keisha); Kerry Ann; Rohan (Sharna) and Ryan as well as 26 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

Auntie Carmen was strong in her Christian faith and her greatest joy in life was her relationship with her children and grandchildren. She was extremely proud of her family and told the funniest stories of her life in Jamaica. She made friends everywhere she went and always took the time to listen to people and hear their stories. She was kind and always offered to help even in times when she did not have the resources to provide that help.

She was not a wealthy woman but had a wealth of love and kindness that she shared with everyone she met. She loved to cook and bake and her delicious sweet potato puddings got her in trouble with Dawn who was concerned about her weight. She loved her flowers and gardening and took pleasure in the simple things of life.

Auntie Carmen, rest in peace. We are blessed to have had you in our lives. You will be missed and your memories will live in our hearts forever. WE LOVE YOU!
