Keva Eliza was a loving, creative and hardworking lady, who had strong convictions which 
caused her to be admired. She had a love for house keeping, so at the end of her schooling, 
she worked in her desired profession at the residence of Commissioner Mr. Cyril G. Archer 
and years later for Mr. Roland Bridgewater and family.

She preformed her duties as secretary of the ragged Island Progressive Association and the 
United Burial Society with distinction. Mother Keva loved her Lord and served faithfully as

Anglican Church Women, Holy Innocent Church and a member of the Women's Missionary 
Band of the Church of God of Prophecy, as her Christian Service knew no Religious barriers.

She was a unique and special mother who believed that the needs of her children and grand children were top priority.

usual cooking and baking as she took care of her numerous grandchildren.
