Yvonne Lawes was born on May 4, 1939 in Kingston, Jamaica, to Una Brimm. A hard-working woman, she graduated from CAST (College of Arts, Science and Technology) in Kingston, and worked there before migrating to New York in 1963. Here she embarked on a successfully long career with the American Express Company from which she retired. During that period, she advanced her academia by graduating from Brooklyn College where she obtained her bachelors and master’s degrees. She continued her pursuits in business by opening and operating a family Day Care Center in Brooklyn, that enhanced and catered to the community needs. Her compassion and dedication to the needs of the children she served earned her a respected place in the community. Due to health reasons, she relocated to Miramar, South Florida, where she resided with her mother Una Brimm until her passing.

Yvonne lived a vibrant life, and she will always be remembered for her many, many, lively parties and festivities. She was always jovial, while helping and catering to others.

Left to cherish her beautiful memories are her mother, Una Brimm; brother, a sister, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

She will be missed greatly.
