The Late Trixie Hanna nee Burrows alongside daughter Mrs. Bernadette Christie.

Nassau, Bahamas — She is the mother of the Prime Minister’s wife who in firmness commanded respect and attention. She was the wife of the former policemen turned priest, the late Fr. Howard Hanna, who served God and country at a time when the Bahamas was building from a colony to a nation.

And in that transition Mrs Hanna know what it meant to give service.

Today we at Bahamas Press mourn her passing here on earth but rejoice to know that she has entered into that city of felicity.

May the Angels meet you, may the the saints greet you and may He grant you rest eternal into that land of unending joy.

Amen.
