Lady Bustamante Has Died
Lady Gladys Maud Bustamante, wife of the late national hero and former prime minister of Jamaica, Sir Alexander Bustamante, died this afternoon in the Tony Thwaites Wing of the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI).
She had been confined to home for the past two years, but was still reportedly quite healthy. However, yesterday afternoon, she reportedly expressed a feeling of discomfort and developed a high temperature. She was taken to the Tony Thwaites Wing of UHWI at 2 p.m. today, and died at 4.45 p.m. She was 97 years old.
May her soul rest in peace.
