Mrs. Yvonne Miller -Former Women's Fellowship President passes

Mrs. Yvonne Miller was a faithful and dedicated member of the Cayman Islands Regional Mission Council Women’s Fellowship of the United Church in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.
In the Handbook of the Women’s fellowship, it is recorded that the Branch of Gun Bay was formed in 1955 and it was in this organization that Yvonne became a highly active member. Despite the heavy responsibility of a fulltime job with The Cayman Islands Government Hospital and the raising of her four young sons, Yvonne made time to participate in all aspects of the Women’s Fellowship.
It was during these years that Yvonne recognized that God had blessed her with excellent leadership skills, and she offered herself not only to the Branch in Gun Bay but also to the Council Executive of the Women’s Fellowship of which she eventually became President.
As President of the Executive she was responsible for overseeing all the Branches of Women’s Fellowship island- wide. It was during these years that Yvonne, would in her quiet unassuming way, take the opportunity to make her mark on the work of the women while also building lasting relationships with ladies from the various congregations.
During the years as President, Yvonne represented Cayman on  the Synodical Executive of the Women’s Fellowship which afforded her the opportunity to travel often to Jamaica to participate in the planning meetings for all the Branches in Cayman and Jamaica.  She was also always a willing participant in Women’s Fellowship Conferences and Gatherings whether in Cayman or Jamaica.
In 1995, the 50th anniversary of the Women’s Fellowship was celebrated in Cayman and Yvonne played a major role in the organization of this celebration.
In the last year or two she was not very active, as in previous years due to failing health. However, Yvonne remained extremely supportive of the  work of the Women’s Fellowship and was always interested in knowing how we were doing. She often voiced her concern for the continuance of the organization which she held near and dear to her heart.
Yvonne, a gentle soul will always be remembered for the vital roles she played in the organization which she loved. We thank God for her work and we express deep condolences to her family.
As we say goodbye, may her soul rest in peace and light perpetual shine upon her.
Mrs. Carol Ann Ebanks
President – CIRMC Women’s Fellowship Council
