Marie Yvrose Bien-Aimé

Ms. Marie Yvrose Bien-Aime, 69 died on Tuesday, March 31st, 2020, after a long illness. She was a longtime resident of Brooklyn, NY.

Yvrose was born in Gonaives, Haiti, and moved to the United States in the early 1980s. She cared for the sick and disabled in her job as a private home health aide. She stood only at just over 5’, which she considered “too short,” but she had a big personality. She loved yard sales and was always collecting items to fix up and sell. Her dream was to retire to a big city and open a store of her own.

Yvrose is survived by her son-in-law and only daughter: Mr. Vladimir and Fabienne Charlemagne, née Bien-Aimé ;  her grandchildren Chloë and Zachary Charlemagne; her sisters and brother-in-law: Mr. Herbert and Mrs. Jeanne Young née Bien-Aimé, Ms. Soline Bien-Aimé, Ms. Giovanna Bien-Aimé ; her brother: Mr. Felix Bien-Aimé; her nephews and nieces: Ms. Katia Tse née Bien-Aimé and family, Mr. Andrew and Mrs. Gëma Lehrer née Bien-Aime and family, Mr. Yves and Mrs. Laurence Baril and family, Ms. Alysha Jean-Charles, Mr. Herby Bien-Aime ; by her grand-nephew and nieces, Mr. Sébastien Sidney, Misses. Sophia et Gëanna Leher; by her close friends: Ms. Yvrose Saint-Julien, Ms. Lilly Pierre, Ms. Yvrose Pierre, Ms. Maria Augustin; and by the congregation of Jerusalem French Church in Brooklyn, NY.

Her family and friends grieve her passing deeply but rejoice in the certainty of meeting her again in the kingdom of heaven.

The Funeral Service for Marie Yvrose Bien-Aimé will be held privately, burial to follow in St. John’s Cemetery.
