It would be wrong to say that Viola lost her battle. Yes, at times she was tired, but she never stopped fighting. No matter how sick she was, she was always determined. When anyone else would have broken, Viola stayed strong. Through her, we know what resilience and perseverance truly look like. There was no quit in Viola. Just because she is no longer here, it doesn’t mean she lost her fight.

As the years progressed, our mother's interests and passions expanded.  She loved traveling and taking cruises. Every place she visited, she would buy a souvenir for her grandchildren. She enjoyed watching Soap Operas. It was her wish that upon her death that we do not mourn, but celebrate a life of dedication, love, and sacrifice. Her life was a living example of her favorite Bible verse, Ephesians 4:32 — “And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.” Viola had two Adult Children- Guerline and Kerby St Charles. Our mother had four Grandchildren, Shakir-Gray Dieudonne, Akish Dieudonne, Noah Dieudonne and Rose-Kaelyn St Charles. In addition, Viola had 18 Siblings, but is survived by Six Brothers – Joel St Charles, Jean-Sosthenes St Charles, Charles St Charles, Nerikes St Charles, Dieuseul St Charles, and Bernadieu St Charles, as well as Six Sisters- Sagina St Charles, Mrs. Henry Petit (born Esther St Charles), Mrs. Alize Joseph (born Berta St Charles), Mrs. Saintlira Poliard (born Silfida St Charles), Mrs. Henry St Phard (born Almiraya St Charles) and Adrienne St Charles; Her Son-in-Law Prosper Dieudonne; Her Daughter-in-Law Wilmine St Charles; Her Goddaughters Ermione Lamour and Ermine St Charles; her many Nephews and Nieces;

Departed: 09/22/2021 (Miami)

Obituary Preview: We are here today to remember and honor our beloved Anne-Marie Mercier Cheriza affectionately known as Magda. This is not a moment to grieve but a moment to celebrate life. HER LIFE.  As you all know, she was full of radiant energy. She had a very strong presence whenever she entered any room, in fact, you can probably feel it right now. She wore a smile that could light up the darkest day.

Magda was born April 9th, 1952 in our homeland of port of prince Haiti. She was the second oldest out of 7 sisters. She attended her local private school throughout her adolescence. Here she met her husband whom she adored so much. She continued college where she became a professor at the very school she attended when younger. She loved to give back. She was well known and loved in her community. She was the woman you can go to if you needed anything. Searching for a better life while carrying her first born, Yvelyne Mercier, she found her home in Miami, Florida. In the recent years of being in Miami, she gave birth to her second daughter, Tracy Midi. Her kids were everything to her. Providing for her family was number one priority.  She was employed by Miami International Airport and worked here until her retirement.  She enjoyed her job and took pride in her work. While being in Miami, Magda, helped her sister’s migrate into the U.S from Haiti to each have their own opportunity at a better life. Magda built a foundation for the family to succeed here in the United States. Without her, our roots wouldn’t have been planted. Family was everything to her and she made sure her kids inherited this mindset. Her drive to succeed and passion for providing for her family led her to become an entrepreneur, exporting and importing between Miami and Haiti. In her spare time, she was active member of her parish of Notre Dame d’Haiti Catholic Church. As a member of her community her efforts are resulted in many food and donation drives for the less fortunate.

Her passion for family, her church, and community lives on through her daughters Tracy and Yvelyne. Her grandchildren from Yvelyne, Zion A. Zamor & Key’on B. Mena will carry these values passed down from their treasured grandmother throughout their lives. Her unconditional love will forever be felt and her memory will live on.

On behalf of the family we want to sincerely thank you for coming and showing respect. LONG LIVE MAGDA!!!!

Jean Benito Michel - March 15, 1929 - June 11, 2021

Departed: 06/11/2021 (Miami)

Obituary Preview: Jean Benito Michel, 92 years of age, passed away peacefully on June 11, 2021 at his home after a long illness.

Jean Benito Michel was born in Port-de-Paix, on March 15, 1929. He was the son of the late Major Michel and Similia Simone. Benito was the fourth child of seven children (Desertlest, Simelien, Ernest, Elisterm, Esterny, and George). Benito grew up in a small city called La-plate, where he learned how to grow crops and make trade. Later in his life he wanted something better for himself, so by the age of 18-year-old he started a career in architecture.

After a few years of being a successful architect, he was lucky enough to have met a beautiful young lady name “Cleremene Petit”, who soon became his fiancé then wife. In addition to Benito and Cleremene union of love they brought six amazing children into the world. (Rosemene, Simelia, Benita, Bertony, Aldo, & Kethlene). Benito and Cleremene soon after professed their life to Christ and started serving the lord. Benito grew a love for working in the church and praising the lord and he did this while raising his family.

But in 1979, Benito moved to the united states in hopes to build a better life for his family and himself. Benito was no lazy man, while in the U.S he made sure to always had more than one job so he would be able to provide more than enough money for his family back in Haiti. Because of Benito, his wife and kids never struggled and made a great living for themselves. And by the grace of God all of his children ended up getting married and were able to gift Benito with thirty-four grandchildren. Rosemene had six children (Adler, Johnny, Maxy, Jacob, David & Joseph), Simelia had two children (Dorothie & Sarah) Benita had 4 (Roniel, Tamara, Nigheska), Bertony had ten children (Jaslen, Jessica, Hilda, Shantel, Anthony, Brianna, Rihanna, Jayden, Mariah, & Ashton), Aldo had eight children (Wadline, Wadlen, Fasnest, Samuel, Sandy, Kayeshia, & Farrah), Kethlene had four children (Winston, Trinity, Nia, Jerimiah). Benito also had the pleasure of meeting two of his great grandchildren before his death. One from Dorothie named Meava and one from Wadlen named Jordan. Benito loved his grandchildren very much. He always had fun and made sure they were taken care of.

Benito loved to read his bible, pray for and with others, spend time with family, laughed and always wear a smile on his face. Benito was a dedicated member of a men’s choir at First Born Again Baptist Church. In fact, sometimes Benito would often walk whenever he didn’t have a ride to the church. He was a loving and caring person to others, devoted husband, father, and friend, who always thought of others first. “To know him was to love him”. Although he will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him, we know he would not want us to mourn so much from his death. But instead we should rejoice that he has joined the lord and will no longer suffer on earth. Yes, we no longer will see him with our eyes nor touch him with our hands but we will feel him in our hearts forever.
