Obituary On Monday, 20 August 2018, with family by her side, at her home in West Orange, New Jersey, God called for our beloved Yola. Yola Gabriel (Severe) Elizaire was born in Cap-Haïtien, Haiti on 26 September 1951 to Anne Marie Edouard and Jean Vecius Severe. God, family and friendship meant everything to Yola. Growing in Cap- Haïtien, she was always surrounded by siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and childhood friends, whom she would cherish for the rest of her life. Yola went on to study nursing and graduated from Ecole Nationale Auxiliaries de Port-au-Prince. She later joined the nursing staff at Centre de Sante a Port Margot North (1976-78). Then, she served as the Chief of Service at Centre de Sante Acul du Nord (1978-79) before transferring to Hôpital Justinien au Pavilion Prive (now University d’État) in Cap-Haïtien (1979-85). After relocating to the United States in October 1985, Yola became a founding member and treasurer of Bethesda Baptist Church of New Jersey. She was a praying woman and believed that one must always wait on God—for He would bless you in His own time. She had a generous spirt, so if she had it and you needed it, it was yours. She cared deeply for her church family and would perform every third Sunday as one of the members of the singing group “Les Soeurs Dorcas de Bethesda”. After over 35 years in service to others in the nursing field, Yola retired from Kindred Healthcare at Saint Clare’s Dover Hospital. Despite her battle with endometrial carcinoma, Yola’s remarkable strength and courage were reflected daily. Throughout her journey she would continue to touch the lives of many, who would relish in her zest for life. Yola is preceded in death by her parents Anne Marie and Jean Vecius, her sisters Joclyne and Kedi also her brothers Jean Baptiste, Pitchun, and Arence. She is survived by her husband Pierre Beauhaurnais Elizaire, three children Myriam Elizaire- Williams, Steven Elizaire, Daniele Lynn Elizaire, son-in-law Henry Lee Williams, Jr. and a host of loving relatives, friends and former colleagues to cherish her memories.

1. Je vis d’éspérance D’amour et de foi, Et mon chant s’élance
Vers Toi, divin Roi. Grande est ma faiblesse, Mon indignité; Mais
dans ta tendresse, Tu m’as racheté.
Refrain:
Oui, mon coeur chante, Mon âme est contente; Mon Jésus est
tout mon bien Je ne craindrai rien (bis)
2. Oh quelle tendresse, Quel immence amour! Cet amour me
presse D’aimer à mon tour: Aimer, c’est te suivre Et c’est t’obéir.
Aimer, oui, c’est vivre Et s’épanouir.
3. Que, le coeur en fête La nuit et le jour, Toujours je reflète Ton
immense amour. L’amour qui rayonne Te gagnant les coeurs,
Voilà la couronne Au front des vainqueurs!

1. Quel repos céleste, Jésus, d’être à toi! A toi pour la mort et la
vie, Dans les jours mauvais de chanter avec foi: Tout est bien, ma
paix est infinie!
Refrain :
Quel repos, (quel repos,) Quel repos, (quel repos,) Quel repos,
quel céleste repos.
2. Quel repos céleste! mon fardeau n’est plus! Libre par le sang
du Calvaire, Tous mes ennemis, Jésus les a vaincus, Gloire et
louange à Dieu notre père!
3. Quel repos céleste! Tu conduis mes pas, Tu me combles de tes
richesses, Dans ton grand amour, chaque jour tu sauras Déployer
envers moi tes tendresses.
4. Quel repos céleste, quand enfin, Seigneur, Auprès de toi,
j’aurai ma place. Après les travaux, les combats, la douleur, À
jamais je pourrai voir ta face!

REPAST
Galloping Hill Caterers
Union, New JerseyGod Saw You Getting Tired
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around you
And whispered, “Come to me”
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you pass away
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
