Obituario de Su Excelencia POR DIOS Y LA PATRIA… For God and Country… Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.” Our dear lady exemplified the brilliance reposed in one who benefitted from collective family and community effort which she manifested in service to God, family and her Country, her beloved BahamaLand. She was the epitome of grace and possessed a quiet strength that allowed her to triumph over the many changing scenes of life. Alma fue la personificación del servicio! Humble beginnings shaped the character and personality we have come to love and cherish, ultimately it was her heart of gold and commitment which became her resultant trademark. To her God, she was faithful and steadfast; to her country, she was dedicated and loyal; to her family, she was Matriarch and muse and to her students, a guiding light! Alma Augusta Adams (nee Hutcheson) birth was recorded as September 5, 1949. She was born from the union of Reverend Dr. Albert Asquith Ernest Hutcheson of Alice Town, Eleuthera, Bahamas and Belle Emerald Hutcheson (nee Hepburn) of Orange Creek, Cat Island, Bahamas. She is the second of three children, her siblings: Ernestine Emerald Major (deceased) and a younger brother Albert E. Hutcheson III. Alma Augusta is a product of Grants Town, and although her father was an astute Baptist Minister, the proximity of her childhood home to St. Agnes Parish on Baillou Hill Road provided a spiritually nurturing environment which supported her upbringing. Grants Town and St. Agnes Parish provided the foundation for many important points of development in her life. This included her access to major activities in Bahamian history which took place on the Southern Recreation Grounds to the North of her home, her matriculation through St. John’s College at the East of her home, her attendance at St. Agnes Parish in front of her home, or her service to the people of The Bahamas, “Over-The-Hill”, to the south of her home and beyond. In this regard, whenever lounging and conversing with Alma, you would learn of her experiences singing in the Choir, cleaning the floors and polishing the pews at St. Agnes. Her St. Agnes experiences were rich and she would exuberantly tout being mentored by the late Reverend Father Milton E. Cooper, who she attributed as being a major influencer in her life and faith.
founding of The Bahamas Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. It became more than evident that while she loved her sorority, service was the ultimate goal and, much to her fellow Sorors chagrin and with immense love in her heart, she tolerated her daughter’s decision to become a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. She commenced formal employment with The People’s Penny Savings Bank in 1968 as a Bank Teller and Customer Service Clerk. You would imagine the sense of progress and accomplishment for this ‘little coloured girl from Over-the-Hill’ to assume such a role only a few short years following Sir. Milo B. Butler’s demands in a local commercial bank for Bahamians to be served, and to have the opportunity to serve, in the local financial sector. It was indeed with pride that she served in this role and transitioned in 1970 to The Bank of Nova Scotia as a Bank Teller, and then in 1976 as a Securities Administrator at Roy West Trust Corporation.
Alma established herself early on as an exceptional student with a unique appreciation for the arts, especially ancient and modern languages – Latin, Spanish, French and German. Later on in life she became bilingual with fluency in English & Spanish. She attended St. Agnes Day School, Western Junior and Western Senior Schools and completed her high school education in 1967 at St. John’s College. In 1969, she matriculated to Florida Memorial College, Miami, Florida and in 1971 transferred to Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. Always excelling, her continued education and certifications were awarded both in 1977 at the University of Miami, Miami, Florida and in 1984 at the Sampere Institute, Madrid, Spain. Alma’s commitment to serving others expanded when she joined the Zeta Tau Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. January 1, 1970 on the campus of Florida Memorial College. Alma pledged her commitment to the constructive development of the sorority’s members and to public service with a primary focus on the Black community. Her journey through DeltaLand grew when she transferred to Fisk University where she served in several executive roles culminating in the role of President. A proud moment of her Delta journey came as she rallied Bahamian Sorors together, lauding the need for the sorority to exist on our beautiful shores and joining her fellow Charter Members in the
During her tour of service in the financial sector, she maintained her commitment to her beloved Progressive Liberal Party (PLP), and wherever there were roadblocks experienced because of her beliefs, views and convictions, she was fortunate to retreat to service in the sector for which she was endeared in the hearts of so many in our nation, EDUCATION. Alma first and foremost was an Educator and
used her gift and professional training in modern languages to impact so many in our nation. Her service in education included, but were not limited to: i. Faculty of Spanish, English Language and Geography at Jordan Prince William, The Baptist School, 1968 – 1969; ii. Faculty of Spanish at St. John’s College, 1973 – 1976; iii. Faculty of Spanish, French and English Language at Aquinas College, 1982 – 1985; iv. Senior Mistress and Faculty of Spanish – Head of Modern Languages Division at St. Anne’s School, 1992 – 2002; v. Dean of Students and Faculty of Spanish at Zion Christian School, 2009 and vi. Adjunct Professor of Spanish, The University of The Bahamas, 2018 – 2021
National Service… A Commitment to Nation Building! Un compromiso con la construcción de la nación! Alma’s service to the great Commonwealth of The Bahamas commenced in 1985 with her appointment to the Hansard of The Parliament of The Bahamas as an Assistant Editor. Here, she was given a front-
row seat to observe lively debates in the Lower and Upper Houses of Parliament as she transcribed, edited, and collated the debates by members. One would imagine that this was a very important point in our nation’s history as we saw the development of a number of our lead agencies and institutions immediately following the attainment of Independence only a short twelve (12) years previously. Here, she had access to Bahamian political greats such as our late Father of The Nation, Sir. Lynden O. Pindling, and other signatories to The Bahamas’ Constitution. Who would have thought that the dreams and aspirations of this Bahamian girl would be realized in this manner; to be entrusted as a custodian of transcripts of key discussions in a place she would one day rise to occupy as a member? In 1978, this dream and discovery journey moved from observation to occupation as in the last administration of the Late Father of our Nation, Alma was appointed to the Upper Chamber of the Parliament of The Bahamas, and was hence titled, Senator, The Honourable Alma Augusta Adams. Those who would be aware of the political climate of the time would know that this appointment came on the heels of her attempt at the polls to represent the people of The Adelaide Constituency; an effort thwarted by the nominal margin of a mere 23 votes. Her service as a woman in politics was so outstanding, that
leadership thought it important to ensure that her voice was heard in a prominent way. She joined the ranks of other Bahamian political luminaries, where until recently, she was one of only five (5) from that 1978 – 1992 Senatorial class still alive today, including Honourable Sean A. McWeeney, Honourable Neville W. Wisdom, Honourable Edison Key, and Honourable Brent T. Symonette. Imagine this linguist, an artistic, energetic, young and beautiful lady in the Senate, participating in and inspiring lively debate on matters of importance to the development and prosperity of our nation. Now, in a deeper way, consider her thoughts expressed in support of those who were marginalized and challenged because of the socioeconomic setting of the times, and the plight of the average citizen living Over-The-Hill. She fought for everyone who was part of the struggle and considered it a distinguished privilege to sit in the Upper House; a position of trust and guardianship which she took very seriously. Her former colleague, the Honourable Neville Wisdom expressed that “It was a pleasure to observe Alma in the Honourable Senate, as one of the only three (3) women in the Chamber at that time, the others included the late Telator Strachan and Theresa Moxey-Ingraham. She was the foremost representative of the Pindling Administration’s commitments to International Relations, Woman’s Affairs and Education and was a major advocate for the people on these matters. She was a proficient debater who was always well-researched and prepared to present.” While her journey in Bahamian politics did not lead her back to the polls as a Progressive Liberal Party candidate in the general elections, she is reported to have been an active participant in every by-election and general election from then, up to the time of her death. Wherever her presence and support were needed, she was accounted for and actively involved and for this, she was awarded the honourable title of Party Stalwart Councillor.
On Bahamas Government Service Plenopenciario y Extraordinario While Alma continually represented the views of the international community and was always current on the affairs of nations within our region and around the world, for her, it was such an honour to be given the responsibility to represent the affairs of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas in a foreign land. These formal responsibilities commenced in 1999 when she was appointed Consul General for The Bahamas at Miami, Florida, United States of America. Here, she represented The Bahamas in negotiations with local, state and federal government officials and outlined and publicized the policies of the Government of The Bahamas and the Christie Administration within her Consular jurisdiction. In a major way, she contributed to the development of economic, political, and cultural relations between The Bahamas and the United States by maintaining contact with and providing consular services for Bahamian nationals. Considering her nature for warm Bahamian hospitality, she forged endearing relationships within the CARICOM community and the Bahamian diaspora for which she received numerous awards of recognition. Her delight to showcase our country to America is noted as she often shared The Bahamas’ rich history in South Florida, as an example with the development of Coconut Grove in the late 19th century.
Alma’s life was enriched spiritually while in Miami by attending the Historic St. Agnes Episcopal Church under the then pastoral guidance of the late Father Richard L.M. Barry. She also played an avid role with the Bahamian-American Associations and hosted numerous events always insisting commencing with the vivacious singing of our National Anthem and closing with the goat-skinned drums, cowbells and whistles of Junkanoo. On November 30, 2012, as the first woman ever appointed, she became Her Excellency Alma Adams, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary for The Commonwealth of The Bahamas to the Republic of Cuba and was presented with her instruments of appointment by then Governor General Sir Arthur Foulkes. He applauded her appointment noting that the country appreciates the remarkable public service women have given while being reluctant to venture into politics. As linguist and lover of the Spanish language and cultures, she was enthusiastic and focused her energies on forging partnerships in health, agriculture and education, particularly for Bahamians studying Spanish in Cuba. Cuba became her second home, and she developed a special love for all things Cuban. She became family with Ovidio, Fina and her team and worshipped every Sunday as a member of Catedral Episcopal Santisima Trinidad, Habana, Cuba with her then pastor, El Muy Rvd. José Ángel Gutièrrez Ferro (Falconeris Lucrecia). Alma left such a lasting impact that on Sunday, November 12, 2023, the service held there by Dean Gilberto Calballero Elizalde (Maria Elvira) was dedicated to her life and legacy.
On December 8, 2014, it was her great honour to accompany Prime Minister Perry Christie as he met Cuba’s President Raul Castro at the end of the 18th CARICOM Heads of Government meeting at the Palace of the Revolution in Havana. Being the consummate diplomate, on meeting El Presidente Raul Castro, she spoke of Bahamian food, music, Junkanoo and encouraged him to one day visit our country and get pink sand in his toes. H.E. Alma Adams became the founding Chancellor of The Bahamas Alrae Ramsey Institute of Foreign Affairs (BARIFA) in November 2021. As Chancellor, Ambassador Adams was charged with the professional training and development of newly employed Foreign Service Officers, which consisted of a year-long academic programme in various Foreign Affairs-related disciplines. She was passionate about her call to serve and worked tirelessly to hone the skills and abilities of the Institute’s cohorts of new recruits.
La Familia Por siempre en nuestros corazones After God, family meant everything to Alma. She gave everything she had in every sense of the word and in every aspect to her daughter Alana Apryl. She loved her nephew Pete Emmanuel as her own and raised Albertha Paulette as her own child. A constant reminder was always articulated, “You all are Hutcheson’s, carry our family name with Pride and Excellence!” Her love was felt by every family member. We relished in her hours-long storytelling of loved ones and felt her insistence on preserving the family and upholding unity;
the reward she admonished us far exceeded the cost. In honour of her, we will endevaour to do our very best as we each hold secret compartments in our hearts just for her. We will miss her songs, dances, singing, long hugs, Chinese Checker matches, trips abroad, first pieces of cakes with Hip, Hip, Hooray, talks on the beach and Oh Lawd, the macaroni and cheese! Alma Augusta, we miss you already and forever! Ours is the pleasure to renew to you dear Alma, nuestro amor, the kind assurances of our highest regard and consideration, and that of a grateful nation for your service! Rest in Peace Alma Augusta, Well Done! Alma was predeceased by her parents, the late Reverend Dr. Albert Asquith Ernest and Belle Emerald Hutcheson (nee Hepburn), her sister, Ernestine Emerald Major (nee Hutcheson) and her grandson, Ché Karson Major. Left to cherish her love and legacy are: Her loving daughter, Alana Apryl Rosa Major and her son-in-law, Dr. Terrell Karson Major; Her brother, Albert Ernest Hutcheson III; Her nephew, Pete Emmanuel Hutcheson and niece, Albertha Paulette Hutcheson-Miller; Grand nieces and nephews including: Patrel Lachea Hutcheson, Emerald Alaya Hutcheson, Nyesha Lonnique Hutcheson, Kaylee Hutcheson, Tamarion Albert Ernest Hutcheson, Lanardia Peggy

To Dearest Aunt, Even though you’re not here I will always miss, love and cherish you. I will always remember the good times between you and I. You are my #1 aunt and will always be my #1. The time we went to Cuba, the time we dressed the tree, the time you taught me how to cook bean n’ rice and all the wonderful things we did together. To my beautiful aunt, one day we will see each other again. I will never forget the rabbit in Chinese Checkers. One faithful day we will dance together. Take your rest my Angel, my Aunt Love, Tamarion

TRIBUTE TO AMBASSADOR ALMA ADAMS Ambassador Alma Adams loved The Bahamas, and the Bahamian people, and she will forever be known as a woman of the People. As a diplomat, Ambassador Adams was well experienced and well respected. She was also a world class motivator and administrator, and was indeed the driving force that kept the Diplomatic Class of 2012 to 2017, comprised exclusively of former diplomats who served during that period, together, and involved. Personally, Ambassador Adams was always a source of sound advice, and wise counsel, and she understood very well the dynamic between politics and diplomacy. On behalf of our diplomatic colleagues in the Diplomatic Class of 2012 to 2017, we thank God for granting us the opportunity to know Ambassador Adams, and to call her our friend. Rest in Eternal Peace, Ambassador Adams, as we continue to celebrate your life. Paul Andrew Gomez High Commissioner to the Court of St. James’s (UK) 14 November 2023
“FAMILY IS NOT AN IMPORTANT THING, IT’S EVERYTHING” - MICHAEL J. FOX My cousin Alma and I only met two decades or so ago, but she quickly became my sister and my dear friend. It was easy to recognize her style and grace, but in family settings, she was a great person who showed the compassion that I admired dearly. I would always look forward to seeing and sharing a meal with her each time I visited Nassau and I knew that Pete and Alana would be with her, because FAMILY WAS EVERYTHING, to her and to me. We often would spend hours on the phone discussing the Hutcheson/Brown family tree and my research, and she often would help fill in the blanks. Our best conversations were about political issues in the United States which caused her much laughter at times. Her unwavering commitment to family and her unwavering dedication to public service will be forever cherished by all who knew her. As we celebrate her life and mourn her passing, may Alma’s soul rest in peace, and may her family find solace in the knowledge that she lived a life filled with love, purpose, and laughter.

faith as a member of the St Agnes congregation underscored the MEMORIAL SERVICE TRIBUTE, MESSAGE breadth of her commitment to service.She was not only a proud FROM THE PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL PARTY stalwart but also a true exemplar of our party’s principles—a It is with heavy hearts and a profound sense of loss that we, the members of the Progressive Liberal Party, pay tribute to Her Excellency Alma A. Adams. A distinguished diplomat, a stellar educator, and a proud member of our party, Ambassador Adams left an indelible mark on our nation through her unwavering dedication and exemplary service. As we join the nation in mourning her passing, we reflect on the remarkable legacy left by Ambassador Adams. Her tenure as Consul General in Miami and Ambassador to Cuba exemplified a commitment to advancing the interests of The Bahamas and fostering strong international alliances. The founding Chancellor of the Bahamas Alrae Ramsay Institute of Foreign Affairs, she played a pivotal role in shaping the minds that will continue to contribute to our nation’s diplomatic future. Alma Adams was not just a public servant; she was a loving mother, a devoted philanthropist, and a stalwart in our community. Her contributions to the Progressive Liberal Party and her steadfast
shining embodiment of loyalty, commitment, and dedicated service. Her wisdom and counsel will be deeply missed, resonating within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, among those she guided through her teachings, and within the lives of the many individuals she touched. Her impact on our party, our nation, and the lives she touched will endure as a testament to her dedication and passion for service. In extending our heartfelt condolences to her daughter, Alana, her son-in-law, Terrell, her nephew, Pete, and the entire family circle, we stand in solidarity with the multitude who grieve her passing. May they find comfort in the knowledge that Alma Adams’s legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of those she inspired. May her soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace and rise in glory.

our ways were ways of gentleness, but not weakness; all her paths were peace, but not complacency. Alma you were my friend, my confidant and my sister in ways too numerous to tell. First and foremost you had an unwavering faith and trust grounded in your God, the great Jehovah. At all times you put God first, exemplified in your prayer life and in your devotion to your Church. Family was next and you were always concerned about the well-being of every member of your immediate family. Thirdly were your friends and no matter where you were or how busy you were, you kept in communication with us. Fourthly was your Country, this great Commonwealth of The Bahamas. Yet with all your contributions to this Country and globally you served with pride and humility, an extremely rare combination. Nothing is impossible when you put your trust in God. When the mountain was before you, you were not discour-
aged so you climbed until you reached the pinnacle. When the road seemed rough and rugged you started moving, confident that God was your way maker and He would carry you through. I believe The Rule of Life by John Wesley was your Rule of Life and I print it here in closing: Do all the good you can By all the means you can In all the ways you can In all the places you can At all the times you can To all the people you can As long as ever you can You have done that. Enjoy your life in Heaven. Miriam Curling
To Mom with love, Radiant, beautiful, smart, intelligent, lovely, classy, always carried yourself like a lady. Teacher, mother, friend you never gave up you fought to the very end. Mentor and a true woman of God is what you displayed all your life. You raised me, loved me, carried me when I could not carry myself, helped me, even when I didn’t deserve it. You cared so much for us, you did so much for us. You stood by me, picked me up whenever I fell, you encouraged me, you helped me to be strong. You loved me more than I will ever imagine and I will hold onto that and all your precious memories. Thank you for everything you will never ever be forgotten, you live in our hearts, and we carry you in our thoughts. Mum, I love you always and forever. Oh how you’ll be missed, your smile, your laugh, even your lil dance, that you so love to do. You were always so beautiful and true. Love Bertha, Tae, Nardia, Matty and Isaiah.
S
weet aunty, I will always cherish the beautiful memories that we have made together. How I will miss the days where you expressed wisdom and knowledge to me. I would confide in you because you always knew just what to say. I will miss our long drives, our Sunday mornings at church together and best of all our favorite tradition of cutting birthday cakes. I will miss you dearly and forever you will be in my heart. Alma A. Adams there is none like you. I love you always. Patrell
To My Darling Aunt In the garden of my memories, she stands tall, A grandaunt, a mother, my refuge overall. Her smile, a sunbeam, warming my days, In the tapestry of life, she weaves her loving ways. With arms wide open, a haven in her embrace, She whispered kindness, adorned with grace. Guiding steps, like a compass in the night, A beacon of love, a comforting light. Her laughter, a melody, echoing through time, A symphony of joy, a rhythm so sublime. Through life’s journey, she walked by my side, A constant companion, in whom I confide. Now, as I recall those cherished days, In the quilt of my heart, her presence stays. A grandaunt, a mother, forever dear, Her love, an eternal echo, crystal clear. Love Your Niece, Emerald
T
o my wonderful, enthusiastic auntie Alma. From my first memories as a child I remember your bright smile at the thought of a party. Birthdays were always very special for you. The first piece of cake was always top priority in our family. I remember on your birthday when you avoided giving us cake because you received the fourth piece. That was always one of my favorite moments of laughter in our family. Your smile could bring a shine like no other into a room. You would brighten everyone’s day. We laughed all day and shared so many moments together. You always treated me with kindness and love. I will always be grateful for the tireless effort you put into me. The love you showed me will always remain in my heart. I will always love and cherish you forever. Your darling grandniece, Nyesha Hutcheson
them, cause you know I don’t like take last”. It was like that…and that is what will be missed. As a boy with a wonderful mother and aunties, one knew the culture of women of resilience. What was noticeable to a young Bahamian boy was how those ladies - old enough to be one’s own mother - were always susceptible to charm; that was part of their strength. Alma was such a woman: determined, resourceful, a disciplinarian, a Bahamian institutionalist, with a headmistress’ demeanour tousled in maternal love. We exchanged chocolates: she loved white truffles. She would say, “Morris, you need to whisper to the Minister. I will mention something, but I won’t stay for his response…whisper to him…I’m a woman. I need a yes!” And there it is again…that too is missed already.
A Tribute for: H.E. Ambassador (Senator, The Hon.) Alma Adams “We met for tea two and a half years ago at Cafe Channing Noelle. She had Earl Grey and I took Ginger Lemon. She said, talk to me about intellectual things man, as this feels like those cafe meetings in Paris. We talked a little about Bahamians love of pageantry and how Louis XIV - King of France used pageantry to keep his couturiers busy to avoid assassination. “We gin need that”, she said. We stayed for 3 hours. She explained her vision for the new Bahamas Alrae Ramsey Institute for Foreign Affairs: We must make it special, she said. I want the Bahamian people to be proud of their diplomats. At the institute, Alma Adams was a “velvet hammer”…she knew how to work to gain the goals set before her and to win staff and cohort members to her ends. When some recruits resisted singing enmasse at a presentation, she said “dem chickens…I will get
Ambassador Adams snatched anyone passing through the Ministry to come an address the cohort of diplomatic recruits. She honoured all who came. The cohort would stand and the visitor would tell their Bahamian story. She carried Bahamian flag pins in her purse, which she would hand out like mints. She loved her country: She would talk of how amazing it was that a little St. Agnes girl dealt with the Russians as Bahamas Ambassador to Cuba. And how she spoke of her lovely daughter Alana, : “she don’t play…she jus like her Ma”, she would say. It was my pleasure and honour to know and work with Alma Adams: she made those things which were merely possible, instantly more than probable…she completed them. She wanted to hear every idea and sought a programme aimed at supporting Bahamians in their advancement. Alma was loyal, gracious and discerning, a patriot and a friend. She embodied the Bahamas of our fondest dreams.: Knowing her was loving her and I knew her - as Bahamian poet, Obediah Micheal-Smith wrote - as being in possession of all that beauty of spirit which “gave life to life”. H.E. Ambassador Gilbert Morris
