Thelma Anita Hosten, 91, formerly of Orlando, Florida went to be with the Lord, October 11, 2017.

She was born April 13th 1926, in Victoria, Grenada and was the third child of Edgerton and Lecit Hosten. In her earlier years, Thelma migrated to Trinidad, Boston, then to Florida until her death.

Thelma is preceded in death by her brothers Lytton, Lyle, Cuthbert and Cyril and her sister, Keturah; her daughter Patricia Martha Britton formerly of Boston, Massachusetts and her son Patrick Hosten formerly of Brooklyn, New York and granddaughter Patrice Hosten formerly of Brooklyn, New York.

Thelma will be remembered as a feisty lady, (Jennifer lovingly calls her Crazy Telly) who loved life, had a kind, gentle soul that never judged and was a joy to be around. She always found joy in the saddest situations and was always ready to assist anyone. She loved food and would ask for pig feet (yes pig feet), doubles, broccoli soup, coconut bake, sardines and Vienna sausages.

She is survived by her daughters, Yvonne Ellis of Greenford, England, Theodora Payne of Burtonsville, Maryland, Mary Hall of Boston, Massachusetts and Jennifer Polidore of Orlando, Florida.
