Andrea Chevers

Andrea Marie Chevers, lovingly known as “Debbie” to her family, passed away peacefully in February 2026 after a courageous three-year battle with brain cancer. She was 60 years old. Born Andrea Marie Wright-Howard on December 3, 1965, in Jamaica, she was the second of four children born to Hermine Jones. Andrea grew up in a close-knit family and attended Hope Valley Experimental Primary, Alpha Academy, and the University of Technology, where she earned a Degree in Marketing. A lifelong learner, she pursued additional courses in both Jamaica and the United States throughout her life. As a child, Andrea was athletic and competitive, winning numerous trophies for running on school Sports Days, though she did not continue track into high school. She developed a deep love of reading during her teenage years, becoming a regular at the local library. Saturdays spent there with her siblings, especially her sister Sharon, with whom she would playfully compete to read the most books in two weeks, remained cherished memories. Andrea was known for her sharp intellect, unwavering drive, and refusal to settle for mediocrity. She consistently pursued excellence in every endeavor. Active and adventurous, she enjoyed gym workouts, trail walking, and hiking. One of her proudest achievements was summiting Blue Mountain Peak in Jamaica, an exhausting but triumphant climb she completed despite returning home blistered and sore, declaring it “an experience I would never repeat.” On August 2, 1991, Andrea began a 22-year career at the Jamaica Bauxite Institute, where she served as Office Manager until December 20, 2013. In November 2000, she married the love of her life, Albert Chevers. Their greatest joy arrived on October 2, 2001, with the birth of their son, Jeon Romario Chevers. Andrea embraced motherhood with unmatched devotion, attending every parent-teacher meeting, fundraiser, Sports Day, and school event. Jeon was truly the light of her life, and she remained deeply involved in every aspect of his world. In January 2014, Andrea, Albert, and Jeon migrated to the United States in pursuit of new opportunities. The transition brought challenges, but Andrea’s resilience shone through. In January 2015, she joined MC Trucking Co. Inc., where she found not only employment but a second family. Her Jamaican employers and colleagues, especially Angie and Claudette, offered unwavering support and a sense of home during difficult times. Family remained her anchor. Despite the distance, she stayed closely connected to her mother and siblings in Jamaica, providing updates and sharing laughter through daily WhatsApp calls. Her morning calls to her mother on the way to work became a treasured routine. In July 2023, Andrea received the devastating diagnosis of brain cancer. The tumor’s location made surgery impossible, yet she faced the illness with remarkable grace and determination. She began quietly preparing for what lay ahead, confiding in loved ones that she wanted to share as much as she could while she still had the strength. Her husband, Albert, remained steadfastly by her side, caring for her emotionally, mentally, and physically through every stage of her journey. Andrea defied expectations, living nearly three years beyond what many had anticipated. Even as her voice faded and silence eventually came, her spirit, love, and quiet strength left an indelible mark on everyone who knew her. Andrea Marie Chevers is survived by her devoted husband, Albert Chevers; her beloved son, Jeon Romario Chevers; her mother, Hermine Jones; her siblings; and a wide circle of family and friends in Jamaica and the United States. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2026 1PM at our Rockdale Chapel. Please express your condolences here on our website. Gregory B.
