Remembering Liz aka Chief / Panda Bear
Elizabeth, was born on Thursday 6th July 1967, at City Hospital (formerly known as Dudley Road), ti Eire Wynter and Rita King. She was the oldest of six sisters: Anne Marie, Millicent, Lorraine, Carol, Emma and Laura. She attended Brookfield Primary and George Dixon Secondary School, where she achieved high grades which would continue to further academic studies and achievements. Liz, worked in many professional roles including: Actor, Radio Presenter, Auxiliary Nurse, Volunteer Police Officer, Deputy Manager, Social Worker, Carer and Minister. In 1995, she met Lawrence Lloyd Simpson. They were married on the beautiful island of Jamaica in 2003. Their union would produce two beautiful children: Jessinlina-Rae (deceased) and Raijan Matthias TaylorSimpson. In 2008, the Taylor-Simpson family migrated and settled in Fort Myers, Florida, where they became active participants in
All Faith’s Church, under the leadership of Charles and Jackie Hoskins, as well as in their much loved local community. On 2nd March 2016, Lawrence passed away after suffering a severe stroke. The love, prayers and support from friends and family all over the world were greatly appreciated. It was also during this time Liz, would come face to face with her hardest battle, having being diagnosed with Stage-Four Liver Cancer. Liz, would continue to pray, encourage and uplift everyone she came in contact with. Her infectious laugh, big smile and bright eyes, shone all the more brighter in the face of adversity, However, Father in His wisdom, decided it best for her to take her last breath on Thursday, 14th September 2017. Her legacy is one of love, friendship, thankfulness and wanting the best for anyone who came across her path. We salute you Liz. Take your rest. Until we meet again.
Elizabeth’s parents Pastor Eric Wynter and Rita King, Son Raijan, along with her sisters: Anne-Marie, Millicent, Lorraine, Carol, Emma and Laura, would like to thank you all for your continued support and prayers.
