Joyce Orine George

A businesswoman from Mahaut,, Joyce Orine George, has been identified as the latest victim involved in a fatal lone vehicular crash in the British Virgin Island (BVI).

According to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF), the 57-year-old  who resided in Romney Park died after succumbing to injuries she sustained during a traffic accident in Cane Garden Bay on August 28, 2022.

“Last evening just before 8 pm, police responded to the scene of a collision close to the bottom of the Cane Garden Bay Hill. A vehicle was found with extension front-end damage against a retaining wall. The driver was found unresponsive. The cause of the collision is still being investigated,” the RVIPF stated.

George, who owned L & O Guest house and Restaurant in Mahaut, was at the time of her passing employed as a cook at Quito’s Gazebo in the BVI.

In a Facebook post, her employers mourned her death. “She was a wonderful and beautiful lady. She will be sadly missed by us all. Our heart breaks for her family and from all our family, we send our condolences. We were all blessed to have shared time with her and for all, she shared with us. She was a ray of sunshine every day. May she rest in everlasting peace.”

Attempts made by Dominica News Online (DNO) to speak to family and staff members of George’s establishment were unsuccessful.

    Wow! Sadly, no one knows the time or the hour we will depart this world. Such a nice person.
    Fly away with the Angels Miss Joyce. Gone way too soon but as Gramps Morgan says, there is a place in heaven for someone like you. RIEP with the ancestors.

    Business woman? I thought you said she was a cook. No difference really, in DA everybody is a business person and entrepreneur when Skerrit makes available loans via the AID bank to entrepreneurs. I feel sooo sad for my country!

    Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 4 Thumb down 19

      Please read again.
      Why can she not be a businesswoman? She has her own business in Dominica –

      “George, who owned L & O Guest house and Restaurant in Mahaut, was at the time of her passing employed as a cook at Quito’s Gazebo in the BVI.

      Also DAfriend. Can she not work for whosoever she wants or elsewhere? Your comment is out of context.

      So because you have a business, then you cannot work as a cook for someone else?
      Pathetic indeed the comments some persons make without even reading back or even thinking.

      She owned L&O in Guesthouse and Restaurant/Bar in Mahaut. Apparently she was also working as a cook in BVI…probably so that her business wouldn’t have to pay her…!
