REMEMBERING LUCIEL BOLES-WILSON
 

REMEMBERING LUCIEL BOLES-WILSONThe Bronx has lost one of its most passionate daughters. I am deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Luciel Boles-Wilson - a powerful force within our community. Rain or shine, I could always be certain that Luciel would show up at one of my events, dressed to the nines and ready to dance the night away. To know her was to know pure joy and an unquenchable zest for life. 

Dear Luciel, thank you for all of the laughs and wonderful memories. Rest in power

The losses felt in our community will never be forgotten. It is with a heavy heart that I share news of the passing of another daughter of the Bronx, Sarah B. Wynn. As we pause to honor Sarah’s legacy, we also send deepest condolences to all of her loved ones mourning her loss.

A memorial of her life will be held at Fellowship Covenant Church this Tuesday, January 16th at 11am, preceded by a viewing from 9:30-11am.

Rest in power, Sarah
