CJ 2017 Mother's day at Marva's home  with CJ's entire immediate family

In Memory of CJ's 93 rd birthday January 16, 2022

Raymond and I truly miss you. If I could do it all over again, knowing we'd reach this point in time, I would've appreciated you more and cherished the fact that I had someone like you in my corner.

Through thick and thin, you've always had my back, even through the biggest dilemmas and disappointments. You were a phenomenal human being, I took you for granted. As I reflect now, it has become more than clear to me how important you actually were.

I'm going through some tough trials and tribulations, but I'll try to make the best of my situation, knowing that you'll be watching over me from above.

Rest easy, Cynthia. Gone, but not for a moment will you be forgotten.

- Julien Grant, your grandson.

I can’t believe it’s been a year. We miss you soo much granny. Not a day goes by were I don’t think about you.



Cyntia my grandmother used to go out of her way to bring me soup every week because she knew I enjoyed it. She is the strongest and toughest lady I’ve met. I would love to continue to hear he stories even though I’ve heard them a thousand times they were special to me.



It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of our dear mother Cynthia (Cynthi) Joyce Ollivierre (Nee Daisley). Born in St. Vincent January 16, 1929 and twice widowed, she passed on May 14, 2019. 
Mother to Marva, Maureen, Ken (Ken died shortly after birth) and Raymond. Grandmother to Maureen’s twin sons Jason and Jermaine, and Raymond’s daughter Genevieve and sons Antoni and Julian. Cynthi was also great-grandmother to 9 – Jermaine`s  Makenzie, Samantha, Lauren, Keyannie plus Jennifer, and Jason`s offspring Kaleb, Kiersten and sadly Kahel October 26, 2006 – June 16, 2015.  Cynthi`s  last great gran-baby and Raymond`s first grandchild  baby girl Ava was born Feb 20, 2019
Our mother was a true survivor. She led a storied, adventurous life and lived every day with determined strength and fortitude bolstered by prayer, hard work and entrepreneurial foresight, sprinkled with fun and an iron will to rise above any circumstance, propelled by the fact she was orphaned and homeless at 13.  She survived her brother Grafton to raise three children with that same grit and resilience, traits that manifested in them: Maureen, an ECE (Early Childhood Educator); Marva – Filmmaker & Accountant; Raymond – Real Estate Broker.  Her survival instincts and how-to philosophies she freely shared with us, her offspring, and our friends, often peppered with anecdotes that made us laugh and laugh, but later we ended up incorporating one or two of her philosophies into our own lives.  We are going to deeply miss her, and the excuses it gave us to party often in celebration of her life.
The family wishes to thank Dr. D. Tannenbaum & Dr. J Kobulnik and the medical staff of Mount Sinai Hospital Foundation for her care and support during some very trying months.
