It is with deep love and gratitude for a life well lived that we announce the passing of THERESA ESLIE THOMAS, of Montine, Grandbay. She passed away on March 25, 2026 at the Dominica China Friendship Hospital. She was born on February 27, 1943.
Known for her impeccable style and elegance, she carried herself with dignity everywhere she went. She was not only admired for her appearance, but her generous spirit and the way she made everyone feel welcomed and cared for. She nurtured generations with wisdom and warmth, always placing family at the center of her life.
Theresa left Dominica back in 1980; she first spent time in Guadeloupe and then later moved to St. Thomas where she worked hard to provide for her family. She was hardworking and was a long time employee at both Antilles School and Royal Caribbean in St. Thomas. However, when she was ready to retire, she came back to the country that she loved to live out the rest of her days. She enjoyed gospel music and she enjoyed eating good food and meats.
She was a humble parent, loving sister, cherished friend, mentor, teacher, grandmother, great grandmother and even a great – great grandmother.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
