OBITUARY

July 29, 1958, a Phenomenal Lady was gifted to Francita Seymour and Vernon Curtis. Born to be a leader Deon Marsha was one, who was a thinker and not a mere reflector of other men’s thoughts. From an early age, Deon was known to be uniquely different. As Stephanie, Freda, Anya, and Trecie would play with their dolls or run around outside, Deon would read book after book. She had a keen interest in science books along with Mills and Bones. She always wanted to become a doctor, but faith would have her path taking another route.

If you wanted someone to uplift you Deon Marsha was the one. She never focused on anything negative and always believed that there is some good in everyone. Deon inspired all she encountered. Give her a microphone and all under the sound of her voice was inspired and uplifted. Deon was one who believed that family was especially important to one’s life, hence many persons were invited to be a part of her family and Francita was everyone’s Mammie. Deon was the glue that kept The Tribe of Winnie together. She always would remind her family about what mama said. She may not bring any cooked good to the family function but once she opened her mouth, she was the life of the party.

Deon Marsha was one who believed that once a person was educated, they would be able to empower themselves. She was a part of Bahamas Academy class of 1975 and became an entrepreneur to help her mother pay for her college tuition. She was an outstanding salesperson. Persons would not deny purchasing whatever she was selling after her sales pitch. She was called to be a salesperson.

Deon met and married Cardie. She made sure he knew that Family Matters, hence the Seymour and Cox family were woven together. She had a strong belief in whatever her husband Cardie said and would rarely go against his wishes. Cardie was her soulmate.

Deon has left a piece of herself in all her immediate family. Classiness and Strength in Aniska, Wainger and Jazper. Dare To Be Different in Anistacia, Apryl, Nyochi and Jayme. Her Competitive Spirit in Aari and Jay. Her Thinking Skills in Trae and Bently. Her Outspokenness in Kayden, Andre, and Alex. Her Humility in James and her Commitment to Family in Anya.

Opening Hymn | The King Is Coming

The marketplace is empty, No more traffic in the streets, All the builders’ tools are silent, No more time to harvest wheat; Busy housewives cease their labors, In the courtroom no debate, Work on earth is all suspended As the King comes thru the gate.

O the King is coming, The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding, And now His face I see; O the King is coming, The King is coming! Praise God, He’s coming for me!

Happy faces line the hallways, Those whose lives have been redeemed, Broken homes that He has mended, Those from prison He has freed; Little children and the aged Hand in hand stand all aglow, Who were crippled, broken, ruined, Clad in garments white as snow.

I can hear the chariots rumble, I can see the marching throng, The flurry of God’s trumpets Spells the end of sin and wrong: Regal robes are now unfolding, Heaven’s grandstand’s all in place, Heaven’s choir now assembled, Start to sing “Amazing Grace!”

Hymn | We’ve no abiding city here

We’ve no abiding city here: This may distress the worldling’s mind, But should not cost the saint a tear, Who hopes a better rest to find.

We’ve no abiding city here: Sad truth! Were this to be our home! But let this thought our spirits cheer; We seek a city yet to come.

We’ve no abiding city here; We seek a city out of sight.

Zion its name; the Lord is there; It shines with everlasting light.

Reflections | Everette Rolle (Friend)

Zion! Jehovah is her strength; Secure she smiles at all her foes; And weary travellers at length Within her sacred walls repose.

Hush, my soul, nor dare repine; The time my God appoints is best; While here to do His will be mine, And His to fix my time of rest.

Recessional Hymn | It’s Alright Now

There was a time I traveled

A lonely sinful road

Beneath a heavy burden bending low

But now all things are different

For Jesus took my load

It’s alright now I’m His I know

Chorus

It’s alright now

For I am in my Savior’s care

It’s alright now

My Savior hears and answers prayer

He’ll walk beside me

‘Til I climb the heav’nly stair

And ev’rything is alright now

A-down a lonely pathway

Without a friend to guide

I walked in sin and sorrow all alone

‘Til Jesus came and found me

And drew me to His side

It’s alright now for I’m His own

(Repeat Chorus)

No more in sin I wander

No more in darkness roam

The Lord has placed

My feet on higher ground

Each day new heights I’m gaining

My soul is nearing home

It’s alright now I’m heaven bound

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, MY SOULMATE

WWho would have thought that what started out as a casual introduction at my brother Beauford’s wedding would eventually grow into a 34-year relationship with 32 of them being spent in absolute happiness and marital bliss? Naturally, I was intrigued — or should I dare say, smitten by your beauty and magnetic personality but over the years I have come to fully appreciate your generous, kind and giving spirit. You have taught me so much about this journey called “life” and I am who and what I am today because of you. You were not only the love of my life — my soul mate — but also my confidant, my rock, my sounding board, and the one that I chose to “ride or die” with in every situation. You were there for me from our college days and remained honest and true until you transitioned to a larger life beyond our human existence.

In one of her sonnets, Elizabeth Barrett Browning articulated these words: “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” But if I was to even begin to state the many ways that you have demonstrated your love for me we would both run out of time and space. It is so difficult for me right now to truly express what you mean to me. Honey, I could not have known a better person than you. You were lively, energetic, high-spirited, positive and selfless. You would have literally given the shirt off your back if someone needed it. The lessons that I have learned from being by your side these 34 years can only come to the fore now because of your mantra which I have heard you drill into mine — and so many other persons’ heads that “now that you know better, you can do better”. My life with you was absolutely wonderful: nothing short of splendor and pure joy.

I am writing these words with a heavy heart — not because you have passed away but rather, because you have passed MY WAY.

I constantly thank the Creator for allowing you to enter and influence my otherwise humble existence. I love you — but I must also admit that you have left a very strong legacy and a pretty tough act for me to follow. Now, as I reflect on all the GOOD that you are, I can live and enjoy a FULLER LIFE. I am only now saying “Goodbye” to the physical, but like you always taught me, we are not just physical beings but also spiritual beings as well. I can assure you that the enjoyable memories will live on until I too experience my transition to that larger life. You are truly once — twice three times a lady and I love you from the bottom of my heart. Your departure has left an aching void and a lifetime of memories but there is absolutely NOTHING that can or ever will replace you.

My wife like so many other Bahamian spouses, simply refer to their husbands by his Family name or some term of endearment. I can just hear her now: “Honey, or Cox!! You gotta learn how to treat y’sef, y’kno!!! You only gonna live this life ONCE!!!” And in this regard, there was nothing that she wouldn’t do for me. And if ever there was a disagreement — we had our share of those — we would resolve it instantly and she would then say something like: “come carry ya wife fa dinner, nah!! There was no room to harbor hatred or animosity and we NEVER went to bed angry or with a matter unresolved. Although she was the quintessential companion, she was also quite independent and yet an avid reader, seeker of knowledge, a deep thinker and I dear say a philosopher. She would often say

“There is no spot that God is not”

“Knowledge doesn’t acquire you — you acquire it”

“You are the thinker that thinks the thought that makes the thing”. Although it is impossible to achieve perfection in this imperfect state, Honey, you were the closest to perfection that I have ever seen in any human. You were a songbird, a leader, an excellent salesperson with the ability to sell ice to an Eskimo, and a globetrotter who simply loved to travel. I fondly recall our trips from the Americas to Africa which was your favourite.

And I also wish to assure you that when it comes to our sons, Camrawn and Markin, I will continue to instill in them the life lessons and core values that you have implanted in them and rest assured that your mother and family will be taken care of in a way that is befitting of your approval. This is uncharted territory for me and moving forward will not be easy. But to sink under the weight of grief and sorrow will not be appropriate and disrespectful to you and all that you have taught me. Yet, grief is a normal human emotion so, if I may steal a line from the great playwright William Shakespeare, in his tragic narrative “Julius Cesar”: “My heart is in the coffin there with you, Deon, and I must pause — til it comes back to me.” Thank you for all you did — for all you were — for all that I have become, simply because of you. You will live on in my heart forever!!!!

Your Husband - Cardie

A TRIBUTE TO MY BEAUTIFUL FIRST-BORN DAUGHTER

OOf all the gifts in life however great or small, to have you as my daughter was one of the greatest gifts of all.

You loved your Mammie and your Mammie loved you too. There wasn’t anything in this world that I wouldn’t do for you.

My heart is broken because you’re no longer here. I’ll keep your memories close with every silent thought and with every single tear. Rest well my sweet baby girl, for you are now in your Father’s care.

Love Mammie

DEAR MS. DEON:

Words can’t describe what it is like to lose a mother, but if anyone knows what to say, it should be me.

I have grown to appreciate mothers and their purpose for being on this earth. I have learned to live in the present while also accepting what life has to bring and learned what a motherly touch is.

Ms. D is more than a mother. She is a teacher. If there is one thing I will bring with me through the rest of my life and my future children are your teachings. There are an infinite amount of lessons that you have taught me, but there is one in particular that I would like to share. The ability to enjoy life.

Oftentimes we focus on the problems in our lives and let it set the tone and mood for not only our day but our lives. We must learn to remain positive, but accept things for what they truly are. “Never make a situa tion more than what it is.” The reason I said situation instead of problem is that life is what you make it. The most important lesson Ms. Deon has taught me.

With this lesson you’ve taught me I am not making you pass a sad depressing and/or a grieving day, but a celebratory day where we can come together and express fun, happy and enjoyable memories we have spent together because that is what I will make it.

Too close, I would like to say thank you for being my mother. Thank you for being my teacher. Thank you for being a role model. And Thank you for putting up with me. May you live forever in our hearts and your teachings live through us all.

I love you Your Son, Camrawn

My Mother Ms Deon the women who saved me and helped me and took care of me like I was her only child. She saw a whole lot of potential in me, she didn’t want me to become another victim in the streets of paledale, without her help I wouldn’t be the person I am today, she taught me how to swim, how to read properly, how to speak to people and How to never give up on my goals, I even went to a private school which she spent her hard earn money so I can further my education . She was one of a kind. Always uplifting people, always dancing and enjoying life. ( I wish that her life didn’t come to an end at a early age). She would never make me feel like I wasn’t apart of the family. She would introduce me to the whole family and say to me this is my family now. Mackin

MY BIG SISTER DEON

She made me see the good in everything growing up she took her role has a big sister seriously she made sure we had all we needed to face the world... and that was not only to her siblings, but her family Give her a microphone and you knew it was where she belongs one area she never venture was the kitchen. But taking care of us was a must my memories are beautiful, and you knew I love you dearly until then my heart will go on.

Anya

A TRIBUTE TO MY LOVING SISTER

Those special memories of you will always bring a smile. If only I can have you back for just a little while. Then we could sit and talk again. Just like we used to do. You always meant so very much and always will do too.

Your Sister Anya

A TRIBUTE TO MY LOVING SISTER

The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause me pain but you’re forever in my heart, my sister, my confidant, my friend.

Love, Your Brother James

TO MY SWEET AUNT DEE

I’ll miss your kindness and your love

Your hearty laughter and your smile

Your words of wisdom I’ll keep tucked away in my heart even as I journey beyond this mile.

Aunt Dee there are no words to express all that you were to me. My mentor, my counselor, my friend, oh my sweet aunt Dee!

You always had a joke to share and ALWAYS kept it positive no matter what you were going through.

I smile now as I reflect on the nickname you gave me of Mammie # 2, because I would constantly check up on you.

You were oh so strong! A fighter till the end. My pillar of strength I’ll love you forever, until we meet again.

Love your Waings

Auntie Dee, as we always referred to you; you were a beautiful flower plucked from the flower bed to be a sweet-smelling savor in the presence of your maker. But it is hard to come to terms with the fact that we will never hear from you again. Sweet memories fill me anytime I remember the advice you found pleasure in sharing with us and will forever be cherished. We found consolation in you whenever we got downhearted. Your benevolent smile lifted our hearts anytime you were near us. It’s gone now! Never to comes back, oh. How sad I feel until now! You had a healing voice, which was ever heard in your favorite song, “Keep on the sunny side of life.” The glow in your eyes always sent encouragement to far and wide. Everyone admired your wisdom in solving complex issues any time we sought your input. You were a role model, and now we can proudly say that you left footprints in the sands of time. Auntie, you were calm even when a situation seemed unbearable. Admittedly, we have lost a precious jewel; if death were stoppable, we would have kept it from coming your way. May your soul Rest In Peace we love you.

Nyochie & Jayme

I love you forever Aunty D, May your soul Rest In Peace forever.

Your Nephew “J”

TO MY DEAREST AUNT,

There’s so much have left to say to you. A kind, compassionate soul taken too soon. You will forever be a huge part of my life. I honestly cannot compare all the memories we share. You’ve had the greatest impact on my life. From teaching me about my first period, to giving me my first job. Words cannot compare my love for you. My heart is broken but I know we will meet again

Aari-Aja

AUNT DEON

A woman of pure selflessness and love. The many phone calls to check in on me and countless jokes between us is something I hold near and dear to my heart. You were always there to give an encouraging word and remind me of all the goals I have set for myself. I always knew that I had your support, no matter how many miles apart we were. I’ve been so blessed to have you as a role model to show how with determination I can make anything happen. The lessons I’ve learnt from watching you throughout my life have undoubtedly helped in shaping me in the person I am today and for that I want to say thank you. Thank you for being one of my biggest cheerleaders, someone I can seek guidance from, and overall one of the best aunts I could ever ask for.

Your niece, Jazper

AUNT DEON,

Thank you for always making me laugh and making the time I spent in Nassau more enjoyable. You always made sure I was taken care of and had something to eat. I’ll miss seeing you around every time I step into Grammy’s house, but I know we will see each other again someday.

Your nephew, Bently

TO OUR BEAUTIFUL AUNT DEON

You were always so supportive, loving and filled with lots of fun. In our hearts you will remain forever, shining as bright as the sun. You were always so cool, allowing us to play games on your phone or taking us to places to have fun.

Thank you for always calling and checking up on us. You always encouraged us to do our best in school, we promise to make you proud. You were always so thoughtful, helpful, loving and kind. We will always love and remember you.

Your boys Andre and Alex

Please tell Mama I still think about her every day And Truly miss Her and now she has great company! May you Forever REST IN PEACE ALONGSIDE OUR GRANDMA!

You will truly be Missed! Uncle Ira’s Clan

OUR LIGHT WENT OUT FOR A MOMENT ON SUNDAY 29TH OF AUGUST WHEN WE HEARD OF DEON DEATH.

Deon was simply an amazing and inspirational woman. A woman that gave herself to everyone. She cherished every fiber of life. A woman that lived in a mansion but found the time to lay down with My mama in the ghetto, a woman that had China on her table but eat out of the tin plates in mama’s house, crystal in her possession but would drink from a peas can if necessary. We loved her just for being the extraordinary woman that she was. The light switch came on as we reflected on the life she constantly remind us how to live despite your circumstances, setbacks, disappointments and medical challenges. ....she would often say family just live life ....say what you would like to see and it would happen.......she would want us to go on living our lives without complaining or feeling unfulfilled.....family let’s live our lives unto the Lord, excited and wait for the arrival of our soon coming king of kings and Lord of Lord, so we can see Deon again. May her soul rest in peace ��

Aunt Vernice’s Clan

Deon was not only our cousin she was our special cousin, a trendsetter, a born leader, a motivator admired for her kindness, love and support to our family from the oldest to the youngest she was an inspiration to each of us in our own way.

Aunt Nova reflects on her memories of Deon she says “My SWEET Niece” words can never do justice to the love and togetherness we shared. As child she was obedient and very helpful. Overly ambitious and took great responsibility in taking care of not only her siblings but my children too. As she affectionately called each of us...

“Joey “ says Deon always had my back. I remember as my teacher in Bahamas Academy and I was expected to be a model student that was tough. Job hunting after graduation was not successful so off to Jamacia she sent me. I will forever cherish the memories we shared.

“Ashley” he says I remember Deon taking me for one of my report Cards and she turned to me and said “or so you are Smart!” She always had a way of making you feel that you did your best in everything.

“Bunnie” remembers her wise counsel and the importance of attaining higher education. Sacrificing her own finances to ensure that was achieved. “Stevie” says I remember Deon giving me my first Christmas Gift at age 9. Weeks before your passing I saw you on the road and reminded you of that lasting memory you have impacted on me. I never got the chance to repay you with the same sentiment.

“Sannie” says The only cousin that gave me a spanking when I was rude then brought me ice cream and give me a hug after. My first Jeri Curls! I always looked up to you because you were outspoken, articulate and fearless.

“Neeks” says my Cousin Deon none of my siblings have shared the childhood sentiments that you have left with me. The sleepovers, to the Christmas caroling, cookie sales competition, summer travels to Disney. Her love for our family was like none other.

“Like a comet Blazing ‘cross the evening sky, Gone too soon!”

Aunt Nova’s Clan

I’ll miss you Aunt D, no matter what you always greeted me with a smile and great words of wisdom. Rest easy

Trae

Afriend of a special kind; she was a special kind of girl. What manner of human is this! Teaching, loving caring, sharing and supporting, no matter what!

What a friend! What a sister! My Deon! I will meet you in the morning over there!

Your friend, Millie Sept 2021

Goddie thanks for seeing my worth and investing in me you for investing in me. You were always there and treated me as if I were your own. Kim and I were everything to you and for this we will forever be grateful. You were devoted, energetic, optimistic and no nonsense and gave of yourself unselfishly. A part of who I am have become it’s because of you, you always encourage me to excel and be the best I can be. I’ll never forget the many fun times we shared. You made me believe and see that there is something positive in every negative situation.

Oh my sweet Godmother and cousin. I am so hurt to hear that you are gone. You have fought long and hard you were courageous and strong and I admired your strength. As much as we would have wanted you to be here God has other plans and always knows best. My heart hurts but I know that you are in a better place. Thanks for all that you have taught me and done for me, you will always hold a special place in my heart. I love you dearly.

Rest in peace Godie

ACADEMY CLASS OF 1975 TRIBUTES TO OUR DEON, CLASSMATE, SISTER AND FRIEND

Jennifer Brown-Foster – “My dear and precious friend Deon, a beautiful soul who I loved as a sister and I miss her greatly, May she Rest In Peace”

Sharon Dean Laing: “The beauty of your Memory Deon, Will be held in my Heart forever!

Yvonne Gibson: “What I admire about Deon, she was visionary, she believed in living outside of the box. Nothing she did was ordinary. Deon was not an ordinary woman, she was an extraordinary woman. She was the epitome of a woman. She lived robustly. Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight, gone too soon. Deon was born to be seen, she did not waste her talents, she multiplied them. She will be greatly missed.”

Thurza Pratt: “Deon…. Such a happy soul… gone too soon! May her soul rest in peace!”

Constance Cartwright Mckinney: Dynamic, Energetic, Organized, No-conformist. My friend, my sister, you are loved and you loved more. Sleep easy, classmate.

Marsha Stubbs McClean: “Sleep on my friend, until we meet again.”

Martin Hanna: “Deon lived as a child of the universe who had a right to be here – no less than the trees and the stars – gone too soon, forever in our hearts.”

Christine:- Though I am reeling from the untimely passing of my friend Deon, I am humbled by the memory of her wonderful and

caring personality. My first recollection of Deon was in high school, when she joined our class as a tall, lanky, teenager, with pony tails and a sweet laugh. I believe I learned how to debate because of Deon’s ability to bring out the fire in a conversation and spark heated chats.” Deon was curious and creative in her thinking and her life is a testament to these character traits. I am blessed with s fond memory of our last time together, dinner, drinks and off course, fiery conversations.

Gone too soon… Rest in peace , My sister! Rest!

Donna Ash: “Blessed are the Saints who die in the Lord. Deon will be missed.

Marisa Mason Smith: “Deon your life was filled with colour that brightened the world. I will never forget your true beauty, strength, uniqueness, warm and gentle spirit. Your memory will always bring hope, faith, courage and a smile.

Ann Brennen Albury:- Deon’s frank can do sprinkled with love, her tenacity to go against the grain, always challenging in her thoughts and actions. “who say’s that is the only way” and her generous loving smile and spirit is woven into the fabric of my life forever.”

Betty Major Tinker: “ A lover of life, a daring advocate and bold brazen spokesman for the shy, timid, down trodden, underprivileged person(s), a peacemaker, friendly kind and loving, a hustler and striver, a leader, a neighbor, churchmate, schoolmate and friend. Take your rest dear Deon. I am looking forward to that glad Reunion Day!

Message of Gratitude

We, the family of the late Deon Seymour-Cox would like to thank all who have displayed love and concern for us during this time of bereavement. We sincerely appreciate your prayers, calls, visits and other acts of kindness. May God continually bless you!
