Orris Ann Gabriel, born to Albertina and Adolphus Bishop on February 25, 1946, embarked on her final journey, leaving behind a tapestry of cherished memories and a profound impact on the lives she touched. Orris was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend whose presence radiated love, kindness, and elegance.
Raised in Princes Town, Trinidad, Orris shared her childhood with six siblings: Leonard, Yvonne, Shirley (dec.), Marie, Sterlin, and Joyce Bishop (dec.). Education played a significant role in Orris' life as she attended St. Stephen's Anglican Primary School, followed by St. Stephen's College and Callendar's Commercial School. There, she honed her skills in shorthand typing and bookkeeping, preparing for a successful future.
On May 1, 1976, Orris entered a beautiful union with Joseph George Gabriel, beginning a chapter of love, companionship, and shared dreams. Together, they embraced the journey of life, nurturing a bond built on devotion and respect.
The birth of their daughter, Candice Gabriel, on March 9, 1984, brought immeasurable joy to Orris' heart. Candice became her pride and joy, a testament to the love and dedication Orris poured into her role as a mother. Orris' unwavering support and guidance shaped Candice's path, and their bond flourished throughout the years.
In pursuit of new horizons, Orris made the permanent move to New York City in 1990/91, where she continued a lifelong 62 year old friendship that started in Trinidad with Erymntrude Southwell. Their friendship stood the test of time, providing support, laughter, and shared memories. The embrace of Orris' extended family, the Southwell family and the Ross family were a blessing to her life, providing a sense of belonging and connection in her adopted city, spending birthdays, holidays and doing vacations together. They played an integral part in the development of Candy as she grew into the woman she is today.
Orris dedicated herself to a career as a Nursing Assistant at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital. Her compassionate nature and selfless service left an indelible impact on both her colleagues and the patients she cared for. With a calm disposition and a peaceful spirit, Orris brought comfort and healing to those in need.
Known for her impeccable standards, Orris possessed a passion for cleanliness and an innate sense of style. She exuded elegance, always presenting herself with grace and class. Neatness became a trademark, reflecting her meticulous nature and attention to detail.
Orris will forever be remembered for her kindness and generosity. Her heart overflowed with compassion, and she consistently extended a helping hand to those around her. Not easily angered, she maintained a gentle and understanding demeanor, becoming a pillar of support and a confidante to many.
Orris' spiritual journey led her to St. Stephen's Anglican Church in Trinidad, followed by St. Stephen's and St. Barnabas Episcopal in New York. Her faith served as a guiding light, nurturing her soul and inspiring those around her.
In time, Orris embraced her new homeland and became a proud citizen of the United States. Her life became an embodiment of fulfillment and adventure, shared with her beloved daughter, Candy. Together, they embarked on new experiences, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
Orris Ann Gabriel's departure leaves a void in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who knew her. Yet, her legacy of love, kindness, and elegance will continue to shine brightly. May her soul find eternal peace as we celebrate the profound impact she made on our lives.
Rest in eternal peace, dear Orris, knowing that your spirit lives on in the hearts of those who love you.
