Solange Joseph

Solange Joseph was born on December 16, 1941, to Abraham Joseph and Gertrude Louis Joseph in Bassin-Bleu, Port-de-Paix, Haiti. Solange was the fifth of seven children born to Abraham and Gertrude. At a very early age, she took on the role of caretaker for her siblings supporting her parents to provide for the family. Even as a young child, Solange had the vision to one day leave Haiti and make a way for her siblings to do so as well for a better life. In 1973, Solange began traveling to different islands in the Caribbean before settling in Guadeloupe. Solange had a very lucrative career in commerce and trade that allowed her to do the two things she loved best; she loved to travel and to provide for her family. In 1984, Solange moved to Jersey City, NJ in the United States. In Jersey City, she attended Eglise de Dieu led by Pastor Lazarre. Under the direction and teaching of Pastor Lazarre, the support of her beloved church and by the move of the Holy Spirit, Solange was baptized in 1986, giving her life to Christ. In 1992, she moved to Miami, Florida, and attended Tabernacle Jerusalem Church led by Pastor Ernst Jean-Phillippe. Solange was devoted to God and her life and faith reflected her commitment. She enjoyed laughing, telling jokes, doing the funniest re-enactments, and despite her short stature was known until her last days as being the strongest and loudest firecracker around. Her strength even through the most difficult times was unmatched. She believed always that God is the key to overcoming all obstacles that life may bring. She enjoyed being around her family, traveling, singing, and praising the Lord. She was very loved by her family, friends, and the community. Her faith allowed her to maintain a positive outlook on life. Whenever someone called her, and asked her how she was doing, her answer was always, “Avec Jesus tous va bien,” “With Jesus, all is well.” She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and cousin. She leaves to cherish her memories her children: Louis Jean Joseph, Merline Joseph, Eliassaint “Alex” Telfort ( Esther), Chantal M.
