At the Thanksgiving Service for her life, her
niece Jaime Stewart-McConnell said in her tribute, “No matter what craziness
was happening around her, in our family, or in someone's health, she always was
that positive calm we needed and learnt from.”
As we reflect on the life of Ambassador Elinor Felix,
we wonder how one so young could have accomplished so much. She became such a
part of the fabric of our lives that we are having difficulty processing what
for many of us was her sudden departure.
Dr Lucien Jones, her church brother at St.
Andrew Parish Church wrote: “The late Ambassador Elinor Felix, a friend, and
church sister, was a very special person. Lively. No nonsense. Dependable.
Knowledgeable. Extremely good at what she did - walked with Kings, literally,
and maintained the common touch as former chief of protocol at OPM over the
years ... A lady, in the truest sense of the word, who we all loved. A lady of
faith. She worshipped at St. Andrew Parish Church with her sister Hilary … A
little piece of Jamaica goes with her, as she is irreplaceable.”
