PAULETTE “PAL” CARMETTA CURRIE

(née CAMPBELL)

April 23, 1957 – December 19, 2022

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Paulette Currie, on December 19th, 2022 at the age of 65.

 

Paulette will be dearly missed by her children Howard (Chi) and Tanesha Smikle; granddaughter Shaniece Smikle; stepchildren Kathleen and Jeremy Currie; siblings Pansie Atkins, Donna Fairclough, Veronica Bryan, AnnMarie Goldson, Merdean Lewis and brother George McLean; many nieces and nephews; special son Sean Thompson; special sisters Paulette Lyttle, Miladro Lattery, special brother Pedro Lattery; and many great friends.

 

Paulette was born in Ashton, Westmoreland, Jamaica. She was raised by her grandmother, Ursula Brown and mother, Florence Brown.

 

Paulette was a devout Christian and loved serving the Lord.

 

Paulette was a devoted and loving mother and grandmother. Family and friends were really special to her and she loved to spend as much time as possible with them. She truly enjoyed attending her children’s sport events and was the loudest parent cheering on her kids and their team.

 

Paulette enjoyed getting together and having fun. She could brighten any room she entered with her energetic smile. She was one who made friends easily and seemed to know everyone. 

 

Paulette lived a full and adventurous life. She loved the great outdoors, travelling, cycling and all things active. She was an avid plant lover and had a wonderful green thumb. 

 

Paulette was a mother to all and her playful nature has left us with great memories to cherish for a lifetime. We learned and will continue carrying on her caring and kind nature to all.  

 

We will cherish all our days that we spent with her and know that she is at peace and will look out for us. She will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

 

The family is grateful to those who have shared their kind words and support at this time. Please hug the people you love.

 

Paulette’s family kindly requests that all of her friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour her memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.

 

A funeral service will be held at the Unitarian Church on Saturday, January 28th, 2022 at 1:00 PM.

Paulette I'm still dumbfounded. Words can't express what I feel inside. That infectious smile of yours certainly lit up every room you entered. I vividly recall the last time I saw you at Karen's bday party. You ensured that I tasted that delicious salad of yours! Was it ever delish! Sleep on my sister..another angel has entered God’s throne!❤

Dear Paulette, Friendships are not often defined by how often we see or speak with each other. On the contrary, friendships and the relationships we create with each other are often cemented by always making time to be there for and with each other. Paulette you were a friend who not only was kind and endearing, but a friend who was genuine regardless of how often we interacted with each other. Your untimely passing was difficult for every who knew you. I am missing every aspect of who you were. Your cooking recipes, your gardening tips and your DMs to chat away from social media. I am missing your warmth and compassion and will spend a lifetime remembering how wonderful a person you were. Sleep in eternal peace my friend. Gone but not forgotten, forever in my heart 💜

You give a little more than you takeAnd  you try to fix more than you breakYou're the kind who takes the timeTo help a stranger in the rainThere's a place for people like you  You stand up for those down on their knees, and lend a voice to those who cannot speak You shine a little light and give sightTo the ones who've lost their wayThere's a place for people   You walk around with your heart on your sleeveAnd you try to be the change you want to seeYou would lay down your life for loveSo someone could be savedThere's a place for people like you I've heard up there the streets are made of goldAnd when you get there, there's a hand to holdI believe when your days down here are throughThere's a place up there for people like you I know you're there.  There's a place up there for people like you. Aunty I cannot be at your thanks giving service due to work commitments.  So keep doing what you have been doing in that special place that you are. Forever loved. Forever missed but I take comfort knowing you are in that place for people like you.

Shanice , Taneisha and Howard my deepest condolences on your loss. I share your grief as my friend and pal is gone. Paulette  and sometimes Ms Polly for me was my road trip buddy, we chatted and laughed talked on the trips to Muskoka and elsewhere. She was a dependable, loving and caring “nana” for my daughter and her Shanice. Paulette was a gentle soul, even tempered even when others did her wrong. She impacted my family and I in positive ways only.  Phenomenal woman , friend ,mother b   May your sweet soul rest in peace.  Loving her always Maureen Bennett Henry

My Sincerest Condolences to Paulette's children, grandchildren, and Family. It was an honour to assist her in selling her home. I got to know her through the process and one thing that I got to find out is she had a deep love for her family. She spoke of her children and showed me pictures of each of them. She was proud of them, as she should be. The stories she shared warmed my heart. I still can't believe that this has happened. May she Rest in perfect peace.

My deepest condolences to Paulette's children and family. I didn't know Paulette that well but the times spent were nice. Still shock that she has passed on, especially when about to embark on a new chapter in her life. She will surely be missed. Sleep well Paulette.

My aunt Paulette migrated years ago when I was a child so I never knew her. I was scrolling on facebook one day and saw her,  I texted her and from there we began talking everyday. I met her in person late last year when she came to Jamaica we spent a whole day together I did her hair and then we went shopping for stuff to bring home and trust me she was very fun to be around I enjoyed my short time with her. I'll never forget her, even now writing this I'm in tears, you are surely going to be missed... SIP my loving aunt😟

Paulette,Paulette,Paulette...how can I ever forget such a beautiful person. That's one thing I will never do. She was such a humble soul. Always ready to help. I meet Paulette at AC we started just saying hi and soon after that we started talking about family. That's when she told me her children and grandchildren wanted her to come closer to them. We then meet at Canada Post again. And yes she never changed, always willing and loved her job no matter what. Very caring. There is so much more I could say, but God knows best. Absent from this life is to be present with the lord. Rest on my sister, I still can't believe you're absent. Blessings and condolences to the family

I remember Paulette as a member of Kingdom Covenant Ministries and she used to be my Avon lady. She would always come to the church office dropping off all of her Avon orders. She loved to laugh. We used to joke around a lot. Such a pleasant lady. My condolences to the family.  Rest in peace Paulette. ❤

I met Paulette when she started working at AC we developed an instant relationship. The pandemic cause us to be devived however we kept the friendship by phone calls. She is one of the most genuine, honest and real person I have met since being here. The last time we met was November 12, 2022 I went to pick up a plant from her before she relocates. When I heard the news and saw the post I refused to believe or accepted I refused to post as I wanted it to be not true I am still in tears as I will miss those random phone calls just doing a check in and  to say I.  I will always cherish  the plant as it serves as a reminder of the beautiful selfless person she was. Paulette I never knew the last time we came to visit you would be the last time I would see you, I never knew the last time we spoken would be the last time I would  hear your voice, I will forever miss you. You have found a place in my heart where your memories will forever lives on. Sleep on beautiful angel.  Joan 🙏

My dearest Currie P, as I  affectionately called her sometimes, was a gentle and genuine person. We became friends as soon as we met. We spoke on that day. I am so glad I called as soon as she messaged me  and didn't wait until I left work. Kind, caring, hard working, loving are only a few words to describe the wonderful person Paulette was. This is still so 'Unreal' for me. I think about her everyday and the great times we shared. I will really miss you. You are at peace, sleep well my darling 'Currie P'.

Life is an adventure No reservations an easy going fun loving and caring human being, Quite unassuming no show yet has a presence that will let you know she's there. If you've had the good pleasure to have met her  her memory will forever be etched in your mind. It's has though she left her finger prints on your heart. Those piercing eyes that seem to see into your soul, that soft voice and a smile that moves you.  Walk good Paulette.

Rest in peace dear Paulette. Paulette is one of the kindest souls I have met. She worked hard, worked 2 jobs and sold Avon, enjoyed cooking, liked growing plants, travelling, her church, family and friends. She appreciated simple things. She sometimes thought that people didn’t notice little her but she was mistaken ..people did notice her and are feeling this great loss hard. The more we got to know each other, the more our circles grew smaller.  She was happy to see the CFL grey cup was in her church from Toronto Argo’s football player Henoc Muamba a few weeks ago and gladly shared the news with me. Paulette didn’t take things for granted especially spending time with her family.  I will miss her kindness, her smile and she will never be forgotten.  May her love and good memories bring comfort to her family everyday ❤ Deepest sympathy from Paul and I.
