Erzulia Vedrine

Erzulia Vedrine, our grandma, a follower of Christ, a mother, a friend, and most of all the centerpoint of our family (poto mitan nan famille an). Grandma was loved by all and showed so much love to everyone she crossed paths with. Erzulia Vedrine was born on May, 29th,1927 in Jean Rabel, Haiti to parents Augustin Vedrine and Gloriese Chalotin. Her life's work was devoted to raising her children, and caring for her household, family and friends. In 1989 she migrated to the United States for better opportunities and shortly after helped her kids come to the United States as well. She never sought opportunities without helping others. She lived nearly 96 years, and in all those years she devoted herself to loving the Lord and caring for others until her very last breath. We all gained an angel when she passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones on March 13 2023. Erzulia Vedrine is survived by a large family filled with many kids, grandkids, siblings, nieces, nephews and cousins.
