Obituary:

Hilma Maureen Rochester, 74, a former resident of Orlando, departed this life on Sunday, January 2, 2022 in Decatur, GA. Hilma was born on the beautiful Island of Jamaica, in the Parish of Saint Thomas on June 20, 1947 to Henrietta Lindsay and Victor Marshall. She attended and graduated from Happy Grove High School in Portland, Jamaica. Hilma furthered her academic studies at Short Wood Teacher’s College in Kingston, Jamaica.

With multiple years of training, she worked at Jamaica Sugar Estates Credit Union in Duckenville as a clerk and at the Water Commission Credit Union as an Accounting Clerk. Hilma was a faithful member of the Hampton Court SDA Church and later the Gregory Park SDA Church in Jamaica.

In pursuit of the American dream, she migrated to the United States of America, settling down in New York City. Living in New York, Hilma went on to obtain a highly coveted certification in computer programming and later gained employment at Blue Cross Blue Shield as a Computer Operator.

Hilma relocated to the sun and warmth of Orlando, FL and became a member of North Orlando SDA Church. Over time Hilma yearned to expand her missionary work. She set sail for Lake City, FL and brought her membership to Lake City SDA Church. She would work on her mission there until her call to rest.

She leaves to cherish and celebrate her legacy: children, Andrew, Britt-Adele, Denis, Kaylah, Alett; siblings, Horace Marshall, Carmen Marshall; 11 grandchildren; 1 great grandchild; and a host of other relatives and many friends.

Visitation will be held on Sunday, January 16, 2022 from 1:00 PM until services begin at 2:00 PM, North Orlando SDA Church, 4125 N. Hiawassee Road, Orlando.
