Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. Her children arise up and call her blessed. (Proverbs 31)
It is with deep sorrow that the James, Margbor descendants, Gbarbea, Gaye-Cooper, and Clarke families announce the passing of our matriarch, beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, sister, and cousin.
Mother James gained her wings on Thursday, September 18, 2025 in Deptford, New Jersey, USA.
She was welcomed into eternity by her parents, Mardea Kemah James Harris and Jacob James.
Left to embrace her memories are her children; Gradia Melrose Gbarbea (Mameni Gbarbea), Nuwoo Gbarbea-Dunlap-predeceased (Nuwoo Dunlap-Pope: Michael III, Saydah Dunlap Colavita: Adrian, Calliope, Carmelo), Leemu B. Gbarbea (Elma “PJ” Garway: Eulalee, Euli, Sean Thomas), Mayeadeh P. Gaye (Charles Kowou, Ava Moore); Roseline Clarke, Henry James, Arthur James, and Bensideh Gaye Cooper-predeceased. Siblings: Edward James, Henry James, Predeceased: Joshua “Pewee” James, Hawa Massalley Badio, Rose Massalley Jallah, and Lydia Simpson; and a host of other relatives and friends.
May the soul of our dearest mother rest in perfect peace.
