I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7
Obituary
Rema Ardney Cameron (Nee Ricketts), a beloved missionary, mentor, and servant of God, passed away peacefully on April 28, 2025. It is with deep sorrow and profound gratitude for a life so beautifully lived, we remember her legacy of faith, compassion, and unwavering dedication to God’s work.
Born in Heathfield, Manchester, Jamaica, on February 18, 1957, Rema was a devoted wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, friend, and advocate for youth. Her life’s mission was to share God’s love and truth. Her ministry extended beyond borders—touching the brokenhearted, uplifting the weary, and living out Christ’s love through action. She was selfless in service, always led by prayer, faith, and purpose.
Rema’s warmth, strength, and wisdom left an unforgettable impact on all who knew her. Through her words, deeds, and presence, she transformed lives and brought light where there was darkness.
She is survived by her cherished children—Neva, Tameka, and Shena; grandchildren—Nathan, Leandro, Amari, and Hailey; her siblings, nieces, nephews, sons-in-law, and a wide circle of friends and spiritual family who will carry her legacy forward.
The Thanksgiving Service celebrating Rema’s life will be held on June 22, 2025.
The righteous will be remembered forever.” – Psalm 112:6

Memory wall
From Bishop Anthony Blackwood and Family
We gather today with heavy hearts but also with deep gratitude to honor the incredible life of Missionary Audrey Cameron—a woman whose unwavering faith, love, and dedication have left an indelible mark on all of us.
Throughout the years, Missionary Cameron was a steadfast supporter of the Youth In Action Brigade. Her encouragement, prayers, and active involvement were a pillar of strength for our young people and our community. She believed in the potential of our youth and worked tirelessly to uplift and inspire them, embodying the true spirit of service and sacrifice.
Today, I ask that all members of the Youth In Action Brigade who are present here stand at attention as a sign of respect and honor for our silent hero—Missionary Audrey Cameron. Your stand is a humble gesture of gratitude for her unwavering support and the legacy she leaves behind.
Her life was a testament to the power of faith in action. She faced life's challenges with resilience and a joyful spirit, always putting others before herself. Her gentle words, warm smile, and prayerful support provided comfort and hope to many. She was a shining example of humility, grace, and unwavering love.
As a family, we remember her as a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend—whose life was a living testimony of God's love. Her legacy continues through her acts of kindness, her steadfast faith, and the lives she profoundly impacted—especially the young people she championed.
Though we mourn her passing, we also celebrate her eternal reward in the presence of our Lord. May her example inspire us to carry forward her mission of love and service, ensuring that her spirit lives on in everything we do.
Rest in peace, Missionary Audrey Cameron. You are dearly loved, forever remembered, and eternally cherished.
With love and gratitude,
Bishop Anthony Blackwood and Family

Our prayers and condolences are extended to you all during this period.
Minister Rema Cameron, has fought a good fight of faith. She never gave up on The Power of ALMIGHTY GOD.
Every time she shared the WORD of GOD from her vast knowledge, and life's experience at our Ministry, New Life Christian Centre we were blessed and encouraged individually, and collectively.
Her legacy, of sharing the Gospel of our LORD continues always.
We pray that her children, her entire family, and friends receive the Comforting Ministry of the HOLY SPIRIT now and always.
Missionary Rema Cameron continues resting peacefully.
Blessings, love, comfort, and peace to all always,
Pastor Doug 🙏🔥❤️🕎✝️🌹


To the bereaved family of Missionary Cameron, I would like to express my sincere condolences to Missionary. Neva Edwards, Evangelist Tameka Walker, Sis Shena, their children and all the members of the family. May God comfort strengthen and grant you peace at this sad and difficult time. It is a very sad occasion for me.
Missionary Cameron was a wonderful woman of God, a stalwart, a warrior. She was very dedicated and faithful to God and the Church of God. Her love and caring spirit was amazing especially for the children and youths. I will liken her to the Virtuous Woman of Proverbs 31.
We worked together as teachers for the Baptism Class for many years. She was a very wise counsellor and mentor with such passion. I have learnt so many lessons She groomed many for marriage. They are now parents. She made sure eveyone had all the necessary items for baptism at her expense.
Her legacy lives on in her daughters. She will be greatly missed. She has fought a good fight. She has finished her course and has kept the faith. Henceforth is laid up for her a crown of righteousness which the Lord the Righteous Judge shall give her at that day.
R.I.P dear Missionary Audrey Cameron.
Missionary Audrey Cameron was not just a mother to her own children, she was a mother to many. Her life was a living expression of the love that God so often reveals through mothers: protective, nurturing, enduring, and expansive. Hers was a love that did not stop at the boundaries of biology—it reached across pews, drawing in anyone who needed a warm voice, a guiding hand, or a place to belong.
When my family arrived on Chisholm Avenue, three teenage daughters and four young granddaughters, we were newcomers, uncertain but hopeful. And it was Missionary Cameron, along with her daughters, who welcomed us so fully that we forgot we had ever belonged to another church. Her presence reminded us of the mothers and grandmothers we had left behind, and in her, we found someone who saw us, truly saw us, as daughters. To her, we were never strangers, never outsiders.
And when our own mother passed, her role in our lives deepened. She became a constant, checking in, including us in every gathering, inviting us into her home, and sharing of herself without hesitation. She gave not just from what she had, but from who she was. I can still picture the thoughtful gifts, the words of comfort, the way she made hard seasons feel bearable with a warm smile and a practical kindness that met real needs.
Even as we grew up and had children of our own, Missionary Cameron’s heart only widened. Though my siblings and nieces had moved away, she lovingly embraced our children as her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They too felt her love, not as an echo of the past but as a living, breathing presence that made them feel seen and cherished.
She never stopped mothering. She never stopped teaching. She never stopped caring. She never stopped showing us what faith in action looked like.
As we say goodbye, we know this is not truly goodbye. Time may mark her passing, but her love is not confined to time. Her memory lives in the countless lives she touched, in the meals she shared, the prayers she whispered, the gifts she gave, the church she nurtured, and the daughters and sons she claimed as her own.
We mourn her absence deeply, but we do not grieve without hope. Because of the faith she lived so boldly, we are anchored by the promise that this separation is only temporary. The red cord of hope connects us still, reminding us that one day, love will have the final word. And when that day comes, we will embrace again, without goodbyes, without distance, without sorrow.
Until then, we carry her love forward, in how we mother, how we serve, how we welcome, and how we live.
From: Shaunda, Nardia, Neisha, Tennecia, Donna-Lee, Samantha, Don-Marie and our family
Rema Cameron she has fought a good fight she has finished her course she has kept faith. No matter the pain she was going through she still worshipped the true and living God somedays. She felt like she was not going to make it but in the morning she gav God thanks .
She was a woman of character , she was disciplined , out spoken, she would tell you how to put things in order . She told you a lot about Jesus Christ, also how to walk with the Lord . She told you when serving the Lord anything you ask him for he will give you . Hence forth there is laid up for her a crown of righteousness, which the Lord , the righteous judge shall give her at that day and not to her only but unto all them that love his appearance . Her mission was accomplished . She blazed a race , leaving a legacy behind .
Truly
Stacey-ann Rhoden
You were always like a mother to me, not by blood, but by heart. You took me under your wing when I needed it most, and you cared for me with such kindness and love.
When my own mother had to leave for England, you welcomed me into your home without a second thought. Your house became my home, and your daughters became my sisters. I never felt out of place — I felt like I belonged. You gave me a sense of family and warmth that I will always cherish.
You gently guided me, not just in life but in faith. You helped me understand God, you made sure I went to school, and you provided for me in ways that only a mother’s love can. You were always there, steady, patient, generous — watching over me, making sure I stayed on the right path.
I know you are now resting, free from pain and surrounded by peace. And though my heart feels heavy with missing you, it is also full of gratitude. You made such a difference in my life, and I will carry that love and those lessons with me always.
You were not only a mother figure to me, but also a role model to so many young girls. I remember children’s church -how you always encouraged us, guided us, and showed us by example how to live with strength, grace, and faith.
Thank you, Mama Cameron, for every act of love, every word of encouragement, every quiet sacrifice. Thank you for being there when I needed you most. I will miss you dearly, but I know your spirit and love will always be with me.
May your beautiful soul rest in peace, and may you always be remembered with love.
With all my heart,
Poochie 💜💋
Neva, Tamica, Sheena, it real rough loosing a mother! But ...take courage – “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write! Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.” Rev 14:13
I extend my heartfelt condolences to Neva, Tameka, Shena, and the extended family. Your mother was a precious gift to all who knew her, an inspiration, a source of comfort, and light.
May you find peace in knowing that her legacy lives on in you; in your strength, your values and your faith.
We will miss her dearly. Her memory will forever live on in our hearts.
Love- Stacy 🌹🌹🌹🌹
A like life well lived.
She touched everyone everywhere she went.
A TRUE SERVANT OF GOD
a virtuous woman
and a life worthy of emulation.
You played well Sis Audrey, now you rest in hope
As your works do follow you.

Thanks for being the glue that has kept the Ricketts family together for over five decades.
When our dad passed away at the early age of 47 years old, the Lord chose you to lead like Deborah and the Ricketts family has won many battles and conquered territories, socially, economically and spiritually.
From the rural farmland of Heathfield, Manchester, to the complex urban setting of Kingston, Jamaica,W.I.
Now spread throughout the Jamaican diaspora in the United States of America we look back and say thanks to you and your husband (Veron- also deceased) for giving sacrificially, not just to our family but to so many others, too numerous to mention.
We know your legacy will live on through the three bundles of talent you left us in the personhood of Neva, Tameka and Shena.
And, most importantly we are sure that a crown of righteousness awaits you in heaven.
Sleep in PEACE Sister mom. 😔
Leon and Beverley
A mother, and a source of unwavering love and strength. Though words can never fully capture the depth of her impact, we find comfort in reflecting on the beautiful life she lived. Her kindness knew no bounds. She touched the lives of everyone around her with warmth, compassion, and an open heart. Whether it was through a gentle word of encouragement, a warm embrace, or her infectious laughter, she had an extraordinary way of making those around her feel valued and cared for.While her physical presence may no longer be with us, her spirit will forever remain. In every act of kindness, in every smile shared, in every memory cherished, she will be remembered.
Rest in peace, Mrs. Cameron. You will always hold a special place in our hearts, and your legacy of love will continue to guide us.
In Loving Memory of Rema “Audry” Ricketts Cameron
It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we, the Eval Ricketts Family, share the passing of our beloved sister, Rema “Audry” Ricketts Cameron.
Audry was more than a sister—she was the heart and soul of our family. She carried the legacy of our parents with grace, strength, and unwavering faith. She stood as a representative of our family, always present, always dependable, and always leading with love.
As a missionary, she devoted her life to service—reaching souls, offering comfort, and spreading the word of God through her actions and her spirit. She was a leader, not only in ministry but in our family as well. When our dear mother grew weak, it was Audry who became her caregiver, standing by her side with deep devotion and compassion until her final breath.
Audry was also a devoted wife and a loving mother—her family was her joy and her purpose. She carried each role—sister, wife, mother, servant of God—with strength, humility, and dignity.
Today, as we mourn her absence, we also celebrate the incredible life she lived. Her faith, her kindness, her strength, and her love will live on in each of us. We are forever grateful for the gift of her life and the legacy she leaves behind.
Sleep in peace, dear Audry. You ran your race well.
With love and sorrow.
Our time spent together was very brief, however, your genuine, efflorescent personality drew me to you and we began to talk.
As we communicated for a short while via Whatsapp, I can acknowledge your unwavering faith, strength and the positive impact you had on those around you. Even while you were
experiencing health challenges your faith remained indomitable.
You were a holy woman of God. Your life exemplified faith, hope and charity. When we spoke you would always express the goodness of the Lord while sending love to the members of New Life Christian Center.
Our last conversation together you shared this scripture passage with me: Jude 1 vs. 24 – 25 “Now unto HIM that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour be Glory and Majesty Dominion and Power, both now and Ever Amen”
So I weep now but not without hope.
Proverbs 31 v. 26 says “She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness on her tongue”.
Sleep on my dear Sister, until we meet again.
I took the time to write this tribute to a dear mother, aunt, sister, Missionary, and friend. I remember vividly when I moved to Kingston to live with the Cameron family. Being new to Kingston this was a surreal moment for me; however, with the motherly charm of Sis Audrey, I felt at home. Most of my youthful years were spent in a house where one could hear the joyous sounds of Jesus and how he died to save us from our sins.
Sis Audrey that’s what I called her, ensured that I further my education when I attended HEART Trust NTA and finished my Secretarial studies and I can say I did make her proud because after that I secured a full-time job. During those times Sis Audrey would make her fruit salad, and I would take some of them to work and sell them for her, sometimes the freezer top was full of fruit salad and hot breakfast, and no doubt the different porridges would be prepared for her beloved customers. She was so talented that she would sew her clothes and sell them at the craft market. Sis Audrey often stated that she wanted to be a nurse, but the opportunity was not there based on those times. Even though she was not a nurse on paper, she was a nurse at heart. I have learned so much during those years while residing with her.
Sis Audrey was my second mother, the way that she spoke to me with love and care let me know that she was indeed a child of the King. I can remember that just before I got married, she gave me a book entitled “On Becoming a Woman”. This book was like a guide during my dating life.
Sis Audrey's acts of kindness were top tier, she was always ready and happy to give, whenever she goes overseas, I can rest assured that I am getting my package and yes sometimes my clothes were just the same as Neva and Tameka's. She often gave us words of encouragement and she would call all four of us girls Neva, Tameka, Shena, and Carol into the living room yes she was the queen of the household and when she spoke, we all listened.
My family and I went to see her in Jamaica and even though she was not well her voice was powerful and still praising the Lord. I am going to miss you, my dear aunt, mother, sister, and friend. You have been a stronghold for me and by extension my family. Your memories will surely live on.
Neva, Tameka, and Shena your mom have raised you as ladies and her legacy will continue to live on. Keep strong God will cover you all.
I leave this song for the bereaved family “Precious Lord, take my hand lead me on, let me stand I am tired, I am weak, I torn, through the storm, through the night lead me on to the light take my hand, precious Lord lead me home.”
My sincere love and condolences from the bottom of my heart to every family member.
Thank you for being just what I needed as a young teen so many years ago and a safe space.
You were in pain and now, that pain is gone. You are at peace. And though the world feels emptier without you, YOU will continue throughout your daughters.
Rest easy now. You are loved more than you know, and your impact will continue to live on.

It’s not every day that you meet someone whose faith leaves such a lasting imprint on generations — but that was Mrs. Cameron. A true woman of God, she raised her children on strong Christian principles, and the ripple effect of her faith reached far beyond her own household. I know, because that’s how I met Tameka, her daughter — a walking Bible, prayer warrior, and occasional preacher — especially before our university study group sessions. While the rest of us were grabbing snacks or cramming notes, Tameka was setting the tone with a prayer, a scripture, and sometimes even a full-on mini-sermon. And trust me, if your grades went up that semester, thank God and Tameka!
When I first slept over at Tameka’s house, it didn’t take long to realize that her spiritual fire wasn’t just hers — it was inherited. Her parents, Miss Audrey especially, were deeply God-fearing people. From the moment I stepped into their home, I was treated like family. Miss Audrey had warmth that made you feel welcome — and full! Her Sabbath lunches were legendary. I may have come for the spiritual guidance, but those meals- they were divine too.
Miss Audrey was the kind of woman who always found a way to give — whether it was a kind word, a warm smile, or even a handmade gift. I still remember receiving a pair of tights she made, or a T-shirt she was selling — yes, Miss Audrey was always working hard, always trying something new. Sewing, selling juice, you name it — she was a true go-getter. And if you know Tameka, you know the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
But Miss Audrey wasn’t just all sweetness and Sabbath meals. She was a woman of principle — a loving disciplinarian who didn’t play when it came to respect and order. If you were in her home, you fell in line. And we loved her all the more for it. There was structure, there was laughter, and there was always, always God at the center.
Mrs. Cameron fed not just our bodies, but our spirits. I will forever be grateful for the way she opened her home and her heart to me. Her legacy lives on through her children — and through those of us who were lucky enough to be folded into her extended family.
Rest well, Mrs. Cameron. You have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. And now you’ve earned your heavenly reward — and probably already organizing Sabbath lunch in heaven.
Your mom was a very wonderful woman and mother . I remember when I came into Kingston…. Clueless. How she and Bro Veron parented me and made me feel so loved and special… I came from country lonely, but because of your family. I didn’t feel alone. …
She was Sis Cameron but mommy 🥰
Every weekend when I’m coming over for the Veron would make sure my ice cream and orange juice was in the fridge. … which was luxury for me…mummy made me feel like one of her daughters in every way … I felt great grabbing my breakfast to go from what you prepared to sell …. Just like you guys…I will never forget her. She made an indelible mark on my life. She was indeed a mother and woman of God. …. This memory made me cry 😢…… I am so sorry for your loss. I know she is with the Lord…. Take heart my friend… I can imagine that you Neva and Shena are hurting a lot.
Aunty Audrey wasn’t just family; she was a source of unconditional love and unwavering support, especially during the times I needed it most. As a child, I found comfort in her warmth, strength in her encouragement, and safety in her presence during those longer summer months that I would visit. I was proud to be her niece, and was even more honored when I was complimented on how much I looked like her. She loved with quiet depth and gave without expecting anything in return.
The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 4:7-8, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith: Henceforth is laid up for me a crown of righteousness". Aunt Audrey did just that. Her journey here may be complete, but she had a eternal hope for a crown of righteousness.
Rest in peace, Aunty Audrey. We will see you again, in the presence of our Father.
Love
I remembered our many conversations by the fence where she shared valuable insights on living life to the fullest. There was never a shortage of topics or lessons to be learned from her. Tidbits of invaluable wisdom that she shared freely.
She was precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of his saints. May she rest in eternal peace.
Mom, you were more than a caregiver,you were a spiritual guide, a quiet warrior in the background, and a light that always led us back to God. Your Bible, worn from use, told stories of late-night prayers and unwavering belief.
Proverbs 31 describes you perfectly: "She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.Her children arise and call her blessed." And even in death you are blessed.
Thank you, Mom, for showing us strength and courage not just in words, but in how you lived. Your legacy of faith lives on in us and everyone whose lives you have blessed. We promise to carry it forward.
Blessings and peace♥️
Our sincere condolences on the passing of your dear mom sis Cameron🙏🏽🌹

This is my first time talking to you via this medium, and I wish the circumstances were different . I want to extend my sincere gut, wrenching condolences to you and your family. I have no idea what you guys are going through right now but I just wanna say that I am truly truly sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. I have no doubt that she’s in Jesus presence right now. She was a woman of Faith and a woman of God and as much as I know that her soul is saved I really do wish she was still here. I’m so sorry.
I pray that the Lord will comfort you all, as you grieve her passing.
You have fought a good fight, you have finished your race, you have kept the faith. Now there is in store for you a crown of right which the Lord our God will give to all who live his apppearing.

Sis Audrey has been a pillar in our lives and will forever remain in our hearts.
Sincerest condolences to the family. May the Lord strengthen you 🙏❤️
We are all heartbroken by the loss of our dear Missionary Rema Cameron. We would have wanted to see improvement in the status of her health, but God chose to give her relief in a different way. He chose to call her home to rest until He comes.
As we grieve, let us choose to continue the legacy that Missionary Cameron started.
Let us raise our children in the fear of the Lord.
Let us love each other.
Let us give of ourselves and our resources to help others.
Let us always have a word of encouragement and a warm embrace for those we meet.
Let us work as true soldiers never yielding even in the face of difficult circumstances, even deteriorating health.
To Neva, Tameka, and Shena, your Mom served with excellence, perseverance, and grace. We were blessed to know her. I pray that God grants you His peace as you mourn and as you reflect on the life of your Mom. I pray that you can reflect in joy knowing that she fought a good fight and she has finished her course.
I pray that you will continue to be trailblazers like your Mom doing the work of the Lord. My prayers are with you always.
Service
Your presence would mean a great deal to us as we remember and honor the legacy of a remarkable friend, wife, and mother.
In this moment of remembrance, let us come together to share our memories, offer support to one another, and bid farewell to a truly exceptional matriarch and woman of God.
