Farewell, dear Una Kent

Excerpt from the Jamaica Observer column published Monday, May 17, 2021

By Jean Lowrie-Chin

Like so many fellow Jamaicans, our family is mourning the loss of another relative — our cousin Una Gopaulsingh Kent, who passed away recently in Ontario, where she had made her home many years ago. She never forgot her beloved alma mater, described as “a blue blood and one of the founding members of the Manning’s Past Students’ Association – Toronto Chapter” by a schoolmate.

Kent was a veritable superwoman, an accountant in the hospitality industry, mother of five successful children, impeccably house-proud, and an active church member whose generosity touched family, friends, and even strangers. Rest in peace, dear Una.
