Maureen Ernesta Walkes (nee Sealy), at age 84, passed away peacefully Friday May 26, 2023 with her two daughters by her side. Maureen was born Thursday March 9, 1939 in beautiful Barbados to Modene and William Sealy.
She was predeceased by her son Anthony Walkes; sister Euna; and brothers John and Winston.
Maureen was a dedicated nurse of 30 years and worked multiple double shifts (she often referred to as ‘doubling-back’) to provide for her family. She went above and beyond caring for her patients and tirelessly came to the aid of her fellow team of nurses when they needed a helping hand. She loved her team and would comment on a good work day because she… “had a good team today…”
For many years, Maureen was a second mother to nieces and nephews; as well as sons and daughters of close family friends. She made her work, her burdens, her worries and challenges, look easy and effortless to those who knew her. She put everybody first and placed their needs above her own. Maureen was everything to everyone and would become whomever they needed her to be. It was her overabundance of love, kindness and “Sealy” strength that carried her through.
A few of her favourite pastimes included a great fête (party), great music, playing Bingo, a good soap opera or TV show, travelling, and long telephone chats with family and friends. Maureen always left a lasting impression with anyone she ever met, knew or spent time with. Simply put, she was unforgettable.
She lived her life by example of Ephesians 4:32:
Ephesians 4:32
“And be kind to one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
Maureen is survived by daughter Maxine Walkes-Thompson and her husband Mark Thompson, and daughter Deborah Walkes-Williams; grandchildren Jordan Thompson, Maxwell Walkes, Ryan Thompson and Tessah Williams; two sisters Sheila and Dorothy; and many nieces and nephews.
Please join us in celebrating Maureen’s life. The date, time and venue will be announced soon. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to her youngest grandchild’s educational fund. Information will be provided upon request.
