Frederica Ann Felix was born in Couva, Trinidad, on June 16, 1939. She was very proud of her country, West Indian heritage, and family, but she was always destined for more.
Frederica had a passion for helping and making a difference in people’s lives. After she received a sponsorship to the United States, she pursued a career in health care as a Nurse’s Aide at Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh and as a Home Health Care Aide. Frederica later worked for Pittsburgh Public Schools Board of Education and retired after 10 years.
She was a devoted Christian and worshiped her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at Good Samaritan Church of God in Christ inHomewood, Pennsylvania. She enjoyed attending church services, church revivals, and the fellowship she had with her church members.
During her leisure time, Frederica loved cooking Caribbeancuisine, shopping for beautiful garments, and enjoyed catching up with her friends by phone. What was most rewarding to her was spending quality time with her family, especially with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Frederica is survived by her beloved children, Ingrid Robertsand her husband Joel “Jody”, Cheryl Felix Hill, Carmen Felixher Daughter-in-Law, Anthony “Tim” Felix and his wife LaRonda. She is forever loved by her siblings, Lucille Thomas, Agnes Thomas, and Ainsworth Thomas. Her love will endure in the memories of her grandchildren, Monica Hill, Andre Roberts, Erica Massie, Marcell Hill, Jaron Turner, Elijah Horton, Keturah Felix, Zachary “Owen” Felix, Timothy Felix, Ryen Felix, and Bryce Felix. She is always in the hearts of her great-grandchildren, Dominique Massie, Dakota Massie, Taylor Massie, Trinity Massie, Camren Roberts, Chance Roberts, Amina Roberts, and Carina Hill.
