Excerpt from Jamaica Observer column published Monday May 1, 2023

We in Jamaica were blessed when Grenadian born Dr Annette Alexis made her home here. Annette was one of the longest serving Directors of the Stella Maris Foundation, giving free eye care to the less fortunate both at her Parkington Clinic and as a volunteer at the Fish Clinic.
Annette was a prayer warrior, always with Rosary in hand, and a talented member of the Stella Maris Steelband.
Annette's heartbeats were her son Dr Shane Alexis, Past President of the Medical Association of Jamaica and her two granddaughters. The UWI Seacolite was a cycling buff and had a fabulous sense of humour, matched by her radiant smile.
Our Stella Maris family is heartbroken at her passing, but we know all is well with her beautiful soul. Our deepest sympathy to Shane and her family members here and in Grenada.
