Obituary:

Patricia AnnMarie Heslop, 58, of Orlando, departed this life on Thursday, October 31, 2019. She was affectionately known as Pat by her friends and Chris by her family. Pat was born in Kingston, Jamaica on September 4, 1961 at noon at the Public Hospital. Her parents Louise Tucker and Edwin Heslop loved their daughter dearly and raised her to be the strong woman she was known by everyone today. Her life in Jamaica was filled with love and adventures of city life in Kingston, and summers spent in country with her sister and cousins. Pat became a single mother of her daughter Shermeische, known as Meische. She was blessed to have a wonderful mother, best friends Cecil (Tall man) Brown, Rachel Meng, Barbara Covington, Giselle Dundas, and her last 3 year’s was spent loved by Neville Burke.

Anyone who knew Pat knew she was a proud Jamaican who loved good food! She cooked her first meal at the age of 8, cabbage and yam. She loved reggae music, specifically Bob Marley and her “husband” Sizzla. She enjoyed playing bingo, beach and casino trips with Rachel, talking to Tall Man first thing in the morning, watching action movies with Neville, and frying a nice piece of snapper. She never missed an episode of Steve Harvey or Wrestling, and was always kind and gracious to her friends. Life was not always easy for Pat, but she persevered, worked hard, sometimes working two jobs and lived well by spending time in her garden, which most of those flowers she brought here from Jamaica. If you needed anything, a greeting card, coming to visit, or Sunday dinner, check with Pat, she’ll give you what you need. Pat we honor you, we miss you, we love you.

She is survived by her mother, Louise Cowan; daughter, Shermeische “Meische” Nicole Jobson; sister, Kathleen Gordon; nephews, K.J. and Kortny Saleem; partner, Neville Burke; caregiver, Rachel Meng; best friend, Cecil Brown.
