Jeromise Gabriel, a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, godmother, and aunt,
passed away peacefully in the late hours of Sunday, October 11, 2026, at the age of 83. Born on
May 30, 1943, in Desdunes, Haiti, she was the beloved daughter of Saintlina Saint Louis and
Dorsaintvil Gabriel Julien.
Jeromise’s life was a beautiful testament to love, strength, faith, and selflessness. A devoted
member of Cambridgeport Baptist Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts, she lived her life
guided by her faith and an unwavering commitment to caring for others. Her generosity,
compassion, and nurturing spirit touched the lives of countless people, making her a source of
comfort, strength, and inspiration to all who knew her.
A Life of Love, Sacrifice, and Devotion
Jeromise was a devoted mother who loved her family deeply and worked tirelessly to provide
them with a better future. She was the beloved mother of her son, Oxene Gabriel, and his wife,
Marie Gabriel; her daughters, Saintlina Douyon and her husband, Joseph Douyon, and
Phygenie Adams and her husband, Daniel Adams. She was predeceased by her beloved
daughters, Yolande, whose partner was Bernard Ferdinand, Mugline Avril and Saint Luicia

Jhonny, Vikenson, Mavins Derek, Johny, Johnise Junior, Sophia, Giovanni, Herven, Ashley,
Jenia, Pedens, Steve, Mikeline, Bianca, and Jaden. She was also a proud great-grandmother to
Mariana, Cyana, Eva, Kal-El, Athena, Richard, and Hendrix. Her family was her greatest
treasure, and the love she poured into each generation will remain a lasting part of her legacy.
Jeromise is also survived by her brothers, Gabriel Julien and his wife, Avonda Julien, and Dieu
Protege Julien; her sister, Roselia Julien; and her many nieces and nephews, including
Miscelaine Bushu, Dieunique Pamphile, Mislene Julien, Dorvins Julien, Renel Julien, Alicia,
Everline, Youdeline Simon, Whitney Simon Gabriel, Youvens Simeon, Youvencia Simeon,
Chedlet Simeon, and Waseline Joseph.
A Heart That Always Gave
Jeromise was known for her extraordinary kindness and her remarkable ability to care for
others. Her home was always open to those in need. Whether a relative, neighbor, or friend,
anyone who came to her door could find a warm welcome, a meal to eat, and a place to rest.
She gave freely, asked for little in return, and believed in the importance of making sure that no
one was left without help or comfort.Her generosity was more than an act of kindness; it was a way of life. She nurtured others with
a giving heart and demonstrated through her actions what it truly means to love one’s neighbor.
Her home became a place of refuge, and her presence brought reassurance to those who
needed it most.
A Journey of Courage and Perseverance
Determined to build a better life for herself and her family, Jeromise made the courageous
journey from Haiti to the United States. After settling in Cambridge, Massachusetts, she worked
tirelessly, accepting whatever opportunities were available to provide for her family and secure a
brighter future for her children.
One of her greatest dreams was to reunite with the children she had left behind in Haiti while
pursuing that better life. Through determination, sacrifice, and perseverance, she achieved that
dream with all but one of her children, whom she had the heartbreaking loss of burying before
her own passing.
Her journey was not without hardship, but Jeromise faced life’s challenges with remarkable
strength, dignity, and grace. Her tireless work ethic and unwavering devotion to her family
reflected the depth of her love. She sacrificed so that those she loved could have opportunities
for a better future, leaving behind a powerful example of perseverance and maternal devotion.
A Legacy That Lives On
Jeromise Gabriel was more than a mother and grandmother; she was a guiding light, a nurturer,
a woman of faith, and an anchor for her family and community. Her life was defined not by what
she accumulated, but by what she gave: her time, her strength, her home, her prayers, and,
above all, her love.
Her legacy will live on through her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family,
church community, friends, and the countless individuals whose lives she touched. The lessons
she taught through her kindness, generosity, and resilience will continue to guide those who
were blessed to know her.
Though her physical presence is no longer with us, the love she shared and the memories she
created will remain forever in the hearts of those she leaves behind. She will be deeply missed,
lovingly remembered, and eternally cherished.
