Pamela Medford’s younger son did not think yesterday was the last time he would see his mother alive.

The 65-year-old room attendant at Mango Bay, Holetown, St James, was on her way to work when she collapsed at a bus stop opposite Trents playing field, also in St James, and died.

Gregory Griffith said his mother had complained of feeling unwell over the weekend, but was generally well.

“My mother was a quiet person. She was loving and would do anything for anybody in the neighbourhood. She was sick with high blood pressure, diabetes and asthma, but she was clear of COVID. She took her two vaccines and [two] tests and all two came back negative,” he told said. (RA)
