ANGELA WAS A RELEVANT ENGINE

Written by Editor: C. Harrison/March 2, 2017

Angela was at all the functions, weather in the Park or at a dance hall Party or an event. Sometimes it was a fundraiser, a birthday party,  appreciation Party, or a funeral…whatever it was she was present. No one could ever say she didn’t support her community.

I remember well when Linkup Media had a fashion show at S.O.Bs and Angela volunteered to strut her stuff. She did not have to do so but she did and the crowd loved her. Another time she volunteered again, to walk or dance along the Parkway one year …on Eastern Parkway, for the West Indian Day Parade for Irie Jam Media. I can still remember her telling me how tired she was but didn’t complain because she had enjoyed herself. Other moments was when we all hung out at  Larry’s Liquid Lounge in Rosedale to see Brigadair Jerry or stop in at Clippers, on Merrick to see Ed Robinson or drive to Henrique Restaurant or drive into the Bronx to see an artist perform. Her favorite artist besides Ed, was Maxie Priest, she used to tell us the story of how she took the plane and went to England just to see Maxie and how she enjoyed herself.  Other times when we visited the Bronx, we would stop by the Barone Manor Villa, and Mingles to party with the Irie Jam crew. In Queens, we all hang out at Moments Cafe`, Queens of the Sea, Amazura, Lorna’s Townhouse, Mangoville, Island Taste, The Jewish Center, and in Brooklyn, at Milk River, Dunn River Restaurant, Trelawney Place and Tropical Paradise. I recall one year we took the drive all the way up to Connecticut, to a place call Waterloo, to see one of her artist performed; these, among so many other places. Where ever the boat rides she was on them yes Angela supported.

For Angela, where ever the boat rides were going she was on them, yes Angela supported.

Angela was a friend that most catered to and will be missed, a beacon, gone but will never be forgotten by most.

Gella, has I so famously called her left behind a mother Marlene Stine, two daughters: Keshel Carter and Keshana Gregory. Granddaughter: Ke’nyah Carter, Sisters: Yvonne Miller and Susan Stine, Brothers: Keith Stine, Llody Stine, Junior Stine, and Javier Dunn, family friend: Princess
