Laverne Alisa Wedderburn

LAVERNE ALISA WEDDERBURN was born on April 1, 1972 in Birmingham, England as the first of three children of Leslie A. and Lillian A. Wedderburn. She subsequently resided in Kingston, Jamaica; West Hyattsville, Maryland; West Palm Beach, Florida, Lake Worth, Florida and Tallahassee, Florida, and finally Lilburn,Georgia. She dedicated her life to serving Jehovah and was baptized in 1998 .at the age of 26. Unfortunately LaVerne became ill at an early age with Multiple Sclerosis which severely limited her abilities as the illness became progressively worse. Nevertheless LaVerne continued to serve Jehovah during her illness, to care for her children Gary and Xavier and to bring them up in the discipline and mental regulation of Jehovah. She endeavored to do what she could in Jehovah's service as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, attending meetings, assemblies, conventions and participating in the preaching work even while severely handicapped, until her death on December 28, 2019 at the age of 47 years. LaVerne's parents, Lillian and Leslie, siblings (Lisha and Leighton Wedderburn), children (Gary and Xavier), daughter-in-law (Erica) and granddaughter (Phoenyx), aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and other relatives as well as her Christian brothers and sisters will greatly miss her. She was courageous in facing the many challenges in her life and always displayed determination and a cheerful spirit. We look forward to seeing her again in the resurrection promised by Jehovah, in a new earth where there will be no more death neither mourning nor pain as stated in the Bible in Revelation Chapter 21:verses 3 and 4. Acknowledgment The family of Laverne wishes to express deep gratitude, heartfelt appreciation and sincere thanks for the many expressions of condolence and concern from family,friends, acquaintances and well_wishers during our bereavement. May we all remain steadfast in our love for and loyalty to Jehovah, the universal sovereign. “The hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will come out”-- (John 5: 28). He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore – (Revelation 21:4) No resident will say “I am sick”-- (Isaiah 33:24)
