Daphne G. Salkey, 91, of Orlando, departed this life on Saturday, August 17, 2024. Daphne was born on January 24, 1933 in Manchester, Jamaica, WI. Professionally, she worked as a dietician in New York for several years before relocating to Florida.

Daphne devoted her life to providing for her family, serving God and her church.

She will be remembered well for her radiant smile and warm eyes, encapsulating her loving and caring nature. Daphne, affectionately known as “Ms. Daph, Aunt Daph, Grandma GG, Cousin Daph and Mommy D”, had a heart of gold and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

She leaves to cherish her memories: her son, Trevor (Rona) Salkey; 2 grandchildren; 4 great grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and many friends.
