Dorothy Jean Robinson, affectionately known to all as “Jean”, was born on June 25, 1953, in Charlotte, West Virginia, to Clifton and Doris Brown. Though born in the United States of America, she was proudly raised in St. Ann, Jamaica where she attended Aboukir Primary and Eccleston Secondary School.

Jean worked as a private duty nurse where she poured her heart into caring for the elderly. Her gentle spirit and selfless nature left a lasting impact on the many lives she touched. Nursing wasn’t just her profession, it was her calling.

She leaves behind a legacy of kindness and will be remembered not only for the care she gave as a nurse but for the countless ways she showed up for her family and friends. Her presence was a light, and her absence will be deeply felt.
