Obituary

Mrs. Merle Myles virtual program 

Virtual Program 

Merle Patricia Myles, affectionately known as "Mrs. Pat," was born on October 27, 1932, in Jamaica to Frank and Zipporah Jones. Born and raised in Jamaica, Mrs. Pat later relocated to the Cayman Islands, where she married her beloved husband, the late Evan Myles. In time, she made the United States her final home, where she continued to touch the lives of all who were blessed to know her. 

For many years, she faithfully served others as a loving and compassionate caregiver. Her nurturing heart and selfless service exemplified Christ's love in action and left a lasting impact on countless lives. A devoted member of Mount Calvary Seventh- day Adventist Church, she was affectionately known as "Sis. Flowers". She faithfully served as an Honorary Deaconess and was a cherished member of the church choir. Her dedication to God's work and her church family was evident in her faithful service, joyful worship and steadfast commitment to her faith. Among the simple joys she treasured were the beautiful red hibiscus flowers, whose vibrant beauty reflected the warmth and grace she brought into the lives of others. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Zipporah Jones; husband, Evan Myles; son, Carl Anthony ‘Tony’ Reid; brother, Ferdinand ‘Slim’ Jones; and sister, Linda Rose. She leaves cherished memories to her son, Earl Bull; daughter, Maureen Myles (Devon, deceased); grandchildren, Darmian Bull, Sherena Bull, Emrod Bull, Diana (Johnny) King, JC (Dena) Myles, Cesare Myles, and Sommer (Aaron) Harris; great-grandchildren, Shecopi Coe- Coe Harris, Derecia (Kiyon) Jordan, Matthew Myles, Ellington Maner, Ariana Gilbert, Antron Dequan Gilbert, Jr., Emanuel Harris and Miriam Harris; great-great grandchildren, Adrian Lee Jordan, Serenity Ann Jordan; sisters, May Morris and Fern Inocencia; a host of nieces and nephews; and the Martin and Nelson families, two cherished and devoted families who have been a source of joy and support for many years. Mrs. Pat's memory will forever be cherished, her legacy celebrated, and her faith remembered by all whose lives she touched. May she rest peacefully in the loving arms of her Savior until that glorious resurrection morning.
