Ms. Kevaun Sears served with distinction as the Vice-Principal of the Cyril Potter College of Education, and her contribution to teacher education and national development will not be forgotten.

Mrs. Sears spoke lovingly of her daughter as her princess, describing her as ambitious, driven and committed to excellence in all that she did. It was evident that Ms. Sears pursued every stage of her life and career with purpose and determination, achieving much and always striving to do more.

The Ministry of Education extends its heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Sears, Ms. Sears’ brother, her family members, friends, colleagues, students, church family and all who are mourning this tremendous loss. May they find comfort in the legacy of love, service and excellence that Ms. Kevaun Sears leaves behind.

May her soul rest in eternal peace.
