Albert Young Vanhorne

Albert Young VanHorne entered this world on August 31, 1948, in Savanna-La-Mar, Westmoreland, Jamaica. After 77 years of family, friendships, hard work, music, laughter, and love, Albert passed peacefully at home on July 30, 2026. Albert was preceded in death by his parents, Winston VanHorne and Bethune Davis, and his brother, Calvin. On December 2, 1978, Albert married the love of his life, Winsome Romans, whom he affectionately called “Somewin.” Together, they built a life centered around family, love, and laughter, sharing nearly 48 years of marriage. Albert began his professional career as an auto body mechanic before becoming a bus operator with Liberty Lines Bus Service in Westchester County, New York. When Liberty Lines became part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), he continued his career there until retiring in 2013. Along the way, Albert made lasting friendships with many of the people he met, friendships that continued long after his retirement. Quiet and easygoing by nature, Albert had a wonderful sense of humor and a way of making people smile. He was known for his quick wit, warm smile, and ability to lighten even the most serious moments. He loved music and dancing, and when he wasn't working or spending time with family, he could often be found in his home bar listening to his favorite music, enjoying the company of his brothers and friends, and trying to convince Winsome to dance with him. Above all, Albert was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend who genuinely wanted the best for the people he loved. Albert leaves to cherish his memory, his beloved wife, Winsome; his children: Victor VanHorne, Christine VanHorne Selby, Janet Hines Garvin, Jackie Shirley, Roberta Barron, Andrew VanHorne, and Elecia VanHorne. His grandchildren, Sabrina, Imani, Zora, Lauren, Annika, Shara, Dwight, Marlon, Malachi, and Messiah; and his great-granddaughter, Aariyah. He is also survived by his brothers, Lloyd and Adrian; his sister, Rose; nieces and nephews; extended family; and many cherished friends. Albert's quiet presence, quick wit, warm smile, love of music, and generous heart will be deeply missed. His memory will live on through the family he loved, the friendships he treasured, and the many lives he touched. Visitation will be held on Thursday, August 13, 2026 12-8PM at our Rockdale Chapel.
