Our matriarch, Gertrude Kollie (nee Turay) passed away on January 8, 2024 at the age of 98. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend to many. Born in Lofa County, Liberia to Karmah and Lusu Turay on January 6, 1926, Gertrude emigrated to the United States in 1981. In 1990 she moved to Staten Island, NY, where she lived for the rest of her life. Gertrude enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, being an active member of the Church, helping others and cooking.
She leaves behind to mourn her cherished children, son Charles Yates (Eliza), and daughters Hannah Turay-Selli (Alphonso) and Cornelia Katherine "Kate" Banks, as well as her loving grandchildren Loba, Miata, Cordelia, Kaifa, Musu, Decontee, Karmah, Johnelle, Siafa, Varma, Olivia, and Turay; and great-grandchildren Omar, Azana, Nweka, Silas, Solomon, Savannah, Joan, and Choice. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Those who were lucky enough to know Gertrude truly loved and adored her and were likewise loved dearly by her. She will forever be our Matriarch.
