Linnett Agatha Caine

Linnett Agatha Caine—affectionately known as Punsie—was born Jan 4, 1943, in Saint Andrew Parish, Jamaica, West Indies. She was the daughter to Melvina Hamilton. Linnett came from humble beginnings. She would eventually become a freehand clothing designer, making school uniforms, dresses, men’s shirts and slacks. Because of the uniqueness of her designs, her reputation and clientele grew and her customers kept coming back. She was loved in the community and admired for her humble persona. She was renowned for her hospitality; her home was the “go-to” location for any need in the community, and she would give to her last. As a mother, she would become a hardworking provider for her children. You couldn’t ask for a more dedicated mother. You could taste her love in every meal she prepared. Linnett loved music, and her favorite musicians included Beres Hammond and Bob Marley. Anyone who knows her could attest to her own beautiful singing voice. In addition to her love of music, she was an avid fan of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Linnett migrated to the USA in 2004 where she would eventually come in contact with Jehovah’s Witnesses. Through her daughter, Joan, she would learn “the truth”. She progressed to becoming an unbaptized publisher in April 2009 and was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in January 2014. She developed a strong love for Jehovah God and was extremely zealous in spreading the Bible’s message. Every Saturday, she would have her son drive her to meetings for field service. If she could not get a ride, she would readily take the bus to the meeting. She partnered regularly with her spiritual sister, Sister Colon, for street witnessing. She read her daily text and Bible every morning. Illness would not diminish her zeal and she always witnessed to her doctors and nurses during every doctor’s visit. Linnett was diagnosed with cancer in March 2014. Despite her suffering, she never complained and was always thankful for another day of life. She lived wholeheartedly for her family and her faith until the end of her life on Friday, April 22nd. Linnett leaves behind her heartbroken family, including children Laurel, Joan, and Patrick, daughter-in-law Delsia, and grandchildren O'Shane, Tyrique, and Justin along with extended family and loving friends.
