Continue ReadingCarmen E.R. Hastings, 89, of Port Charlotte, Florida passed away Friday, May 16, 2014 in Port Charlotte. Born and raised in Havana, Cuba, one of six children, one of whom her twin. Her family migrated to Jamaica W.I. where she would meet her future husband then migrate to The United States to start their own family. In 1980 the family relocated to Port Charlotte from Queens, New York.
An incredulously gracious, cultured and feisty woman. Indefatigably generous with her time and boundless wisdom. Always ready with kind and encouraging words, she comfortably found herself in the service of others; as Mother, Nurse, Caregiver.
As Mother; her children came first, at times even above herself. Whether it was a slap on the back of the head or a big ole hug-n-kiss, it was from her heart…and you felt it.
As Nurse / Caregiver; her patients requested her by name…an achievement all its own.
Survived by her husband of 54 years, Bishop Arthnel L. Hastings of Port Charlotte; two loving children, Andrew N. Hastings and Angela M. Hastings both of Tampa; a loving sister, Mavis Wickham of New York, NY; and myriad nieces and nephews.
There will be a visitation 11:00 AM Saturday, May 31, 2014 at United Evangelical Missionary Outreach 4200 Juniper Street Port Charlotte, FL. 33948. A celebration of Carmen’s Life will be held 12Noon at the Church. Interment will follow at Restlawn Memorial Gardens in Port Charlotte. A gathering for family and friends will be held at the church following the cemetery.
Friends may visit online at www.robersonfh.com to sign the memory book and extend condolences to the family. Arrangements are by Roberson Funeral Home Port Charlotte Chapel.
