British Union Conference

Death of Kathleen Best

Jacques Venter (BUC Associate Executive Secretary)
10 February 2022

We were saddened to learn of the death of Kathleen Marie Best (née Edwards) who passed away on 23 December 2021. Kathleen was born on 13 July 1936 in Kingston, Jamaica. On 27 October 1963 she married David Best and their union brought about three children: Tony, Arnold, and Jaqueline.

Kathleen worked as a Stenographer before entering employment within the British Union Conference (BUC) on 5 September 1975. She worked as the Cashier for Stanborough School, a position she held for almost 29 years before retiring from active employment on 30 June 2004.

Kathleen will be remembered for her kind spirit and motherly interest in the students of the school. She was generous, conscientious, hard-working, and modelled love to her family and friends.

We now look forward, with her family, to Christ's soon return and that glorious resurrection day. Please pray for Kathleen's children, and their families during this difficult period.

The funeral arrangements can be found in the bulletin below :
