VALLEY, Virgin Gorda, VI- Not only Virgin Gorda, but the entire Virgin Islands is in mourning on the passing of mother, patriot, tourism icon, aunt, and community-minded, Mrs Grace P. Flax-Waters of Virgin Gorda.

Mrs Flax-Waters died on Virgin Gorda on Saturday 13, January 2024. She was 81, having been born on January 21, 1942. She was a member of the Lions Club of Virgin Gorda. 

The late Mrs Flax-Waters is survived by one daughter, Ingrid. The deceased worked most of her life in the tourism sector at the world-renowned Little Dix Bay Hotel on Virgin Gorda.

She loved Virgin Gorda

Being very community-minded, she served on many different boards, and committees and was a champion for the rights and needs of her beloved Virgin Gorda.

    Her name spoke volumes to the person she was. She always had a smile on her face and gave invaluable advice to those she came in contact with. Ms Grace (as I affectionately called her) left an indelible mark on the community of Virgin Gorda. My condolences to her daughter, Ingrid, her extended family, friends and the community of Virgin Gorda. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

    So so sad to hear about this. So glad I was able to visit her the last time she was at Peebles. What a great woman with a great heart. She did so much and gave so much of herself for VG and the people, and their culture. Remember back in the days when VG festival was at St. Mary’s grounds. Always wonder why we can’t give persons what’s really due to them before the are gone. Gone but never forgotten my friend. You can and did yours. Thank for so much and for everything. Rest on until that day. ????????????????
