Elaine Skeete, was surrounded by loved ones when she passed away peacefully at home on Friday, March 20, 2026 – concluding 86 years of a vibrant, impactful life. Elaine was the glue that bonded: a spiritual matriarch who loved, nurtured, protected and was fiercely supportive of her family; a selfless soul who prioritized the needs of others without concern for recognition; a friend who prayed for those in need and reached out on Birthdays, Anniversaries and special occasions; a mentor, a counsellor, an advocate, a champion.
Elaine was born on May 15, 1939 in St. Michael, Barbados, West Indies. Elaine later answered her calling, emigrating from Barbados to embark upon a journey to England that would begin a phenomenal Nursing career. Elaine and John “Skeeter” met and wed in England; Elaine is: Mother to 2 sons - Sean and Stuart, Mother-in-law to Marissa and Grandmother to Zuri and Adia.
Anytime you gaze skyward and see rays of sunlight penetrating the clouds – know that Elaine has opened Heaven’s door to look down and check-up on you from her eternal home.
May our beloved Elaine rest in eternal peace.

Stuart,
My deepest condolences, bro. The way you carry yourself—always willing to teach (even teaching me to golf), always ready to listen, and patient—says everything about the kind of woman your mom was. She left a strong legacy through you.
Thank you for always being there for me. You’ve meant more to me than you probably know.
I’m thinking of you and wishing you strength in the days ahead.

This is truly a sad day. Elaine was an incredible person of many wonderful traits: kindness, intelligence, compassion and so much more. I will miss our talks and her incredible smile that lit up a room. Her love was a blanket that covered and embraced all with such warmth and acceptance. A treasure that will be missed but never forgotten. My sincerest condolences go out to the Skeete family.

My deepest condolences to John and the family. Elaine was a wonderful person. When I first started at the hospital she took me under her wing and became not only my Mentor but a great friend. She supported me and always knew how to cheer me up during some difficult times. Rest in peace sweet lady!!

May the Lord comfort John Skeete, the children and the entire family Amenp
Elaine is my wonderful Godmother- she was so caring and loving, always keeping track of my news. Her phone book was filled with my phone numbers from the different places I lived over the years, and she was always so encouraging of my pursuits. I knew if no one remembered my birthday, she would. No one had a laugh like hers, and I will miss calling her and hearing her smiling over the phone. I will miss you, Elaine. Thank you so much for all the love and care over the years. I love you, and may you rest in peace.
