THE Progressive Liberal Party has extended its condolences to the family of veteran nurse Persis Rodgers.
A long-time resident of Fowler Street, Nurse Rodgers was a pillar of the Grants Town Community.
The Persis Rodgers home for the aged was initially constructed by the Rotary Club of West Nassau and opened its doors on November 14, 1973. This privately operated facility was managed by Frances Ledee and was also the residence of its founder, Nurse Rodgers, until her death.
“Nurse Persis Rodgers was a strong advocate for the elderly; she was our Mother Theresa and was blessed by her Maker with the gifts of love and long life,” said the PLP statement. “She used those gifts in the selfless service of others, in many cases lifting up the most vulnerable and the weakest among us. Our country is more civil because of her life and we suffer a great loss in her passing.”
“The PLP saluted this great Bahamian lady for her long and dedicated service to the people of the Bahamas.
“Our heartfelt condolences are extended to her family, both local and in Florida, her extended family at the Persis Rodgers Home for the aged and her many friends. May her soul rest in peace.
