Former Teacher, Sr Labour Officer Barbara H. Titley has died
Ms Titley passed away peacefully on Wednesday January 31, 2018 surrounded by family and friends at a private hospital on Tortola.
She was 62 years of age, having been born on November 6, 1955. The deceased, an indigenous Virgin Islander, was a civil servant for all of her professional career.
The late Virgin Gordian started out first as a school teacher at the St Mary’s School in Valley, Virgin Gorda having taught countless generations of school children. She also taught at the Bregado Flax Educational Centre, also located on Virgin Gorda, until 1991.
After serving as a school teacher for over 20 years, Ms Titley switched gears and worked in the Labour Department, both on Tortola and Virgin Gorda.
She later became the head of the Virgin Gorda branch of the Labour Department, moving up the ranks to the assignment of Assistant Labour Commissioner, the post she retired from just last year, November 2017.

The career civil servant will also be remembered for her signature silver bracelets and red lipstick.
