Mona was at the center of a happy bustling home, the fifth child of her family of eight siblings. She attended secondary school at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Port-au-Prince. That is when she fell in love with her childhood sweetheart, Chiler. They grew together into a deep friendship and a deeper love. They have been together since. Married in January 1969, they both relocated to the United States and lived in Dorchester, MA. and eventually Sharon, MA. where they raised their family. Mona and Chiler lived in Sharon, MA. until the summer of 2019 then moved to Lauderhill, Florida, to enjoy the year-round sunshine. They recently and joyfully celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary.

Mona pursued her dream of becoming a beautician in 1982. Mona knew how to put a body and a bounce in any curl of hair. Mona became a cornerstone of the Haitian community providing the best Cosmetology services for her countless wonderful customers. Mona was loved by all. Mona was also a supportive board member of the 1st Haitian Nurses Association of Mass. in the 1980’s. A great lover of people, Mona is ever generous and sensitive to the suffering of others. Mona also served as an active church member of Hope Church in Sharon, MA for over 30 years. The last two years she attended 1st Haitian Baptist Church of North Lauderdale, FL. Mona was a phenomenal cook, constantly looking to expand her culinary knowledge. Mona made excellent homemade ice cream, bread, and cookies like no other. Mona was also an excellent seamstress. Her greatest dream was to relocate to Haiti, that dream she worked hard for. May her beautiful soul rest in peace!
