Jocelyne Edouard, 60, of Port Charlotte, Florida passed away Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at Peace River Regional Medical Center in Port Charlotte.
Jocelyne was born May 29, 1953 in Haiti to the late Vierge and Saintigene Edouard. As a child she lived in a loving family home full of aunts and cousins to whom she considered them as extended mothers, brothers, and sisters. The Antoine Edouard family lived in a “Tropical Paradise” as Jocelyne often quoted though the backdrop of the Haitian nation was not lost upon them which was why Jocelyne passionately pursued her education in nursing. In Cyrs, Haiti she received her bachelor’s degree in Nursing. From there she began working as a Registered Nurse in Port Au Prince, Haiti voyaging out soon after to work in Switzerland and New York before finally settling in Port Charlotte, FL. Here she diligently worked her way up from numerous medical facilities and became a Senior RN supervisor. Jocelyne was a world traveler who enjoyed gardening, cooking, and music and had a humorous personality. She was a loving mother, grandmother and friend who will be deeply missed.
She is survived by her children, three daughters, Nathalie, Mourade and Jessica; three sons, Ricky, Darven and Marky, and seven grandchildren.
