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.

To me you will always be that glistening Star
Shining brightly forever no matter where you are
Your smile was so infectious and your heart so full of gold
The memories you have left behind I will forever behold
The heartbreak of losing you so soon as a Wife, mother,
grandmother, family member or a friend -
reinforces even more to us that our love for you will never end!
In memory of my Beloved Godmother who checked in on me all of my life until she was no longer able!
