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.
