Etta GloriaTHOMASIt is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Etta Gloria Thomas on 5th February 2026, aged 87.

Born in Carlisle, St Elizabeth, Jamaica, in 1938, Etta moved to England in 1961, where she built a life and family with her beloved husband, Gilbert (Busta), centred on family, friends and love.

Etta is survived by her beloved husband Gilbert (Busta), her daughters Barbara and Rose, and her sons Everton and Kingsley. She was a proud grandmother to Wayne, Adrian, Joseph, Antoni, Chantelle, April, Deyonne and Shashmin, and a much-loved great-and great-great-grandmother, sister and aunt.

Etta cherished her family and friends and was known for her generosity, kindness, and the support she gave to those around her. Her home was always open, and she welcomed all with warmth and care. She touched the lives of many and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Funeral service to be held at New North Road Baptist Church on 27th March at 12:45pm.

"Etta, my friend, was a wonderful, beautiful lady - full of happiness, kindness, love, and joy. The way she showed love to her family and friends was amazing. Her big laugh and smiles would cheer you up the moment you met her. Etta was never one to be sad; she always had a smile. She had a heart of gold and was a truly down-to-earth lady - one in a million. We shared some happy times over the years, and Etta was so funny - when she laughed, the whole street would hear her! I'll always remember our trips to Bradford market to buy fish and pig tail for her soup. The lovely memories we shared will never fade away, and Etta will be missed by many. She'll always be in my heart ❤️. RIP my friend 🤍"
