"The Embassy of Haiti in Canada regrets to announce the passing away of Dr. Adeline Jocelyn Verly (94) on June 14 in Ottawa.

Ms. Jocelyn Verly came to Canada in 2004 after the death of her husband, Dr. Jean Verly, after a career of almost 50 years in obstetrics and gynecology.

In 1955, she created the Foundation for Reproductive Health and Family Education, better known by the acronym FOSREF, which aims to promote reproductive health and family education.

In June 1983, she was found as Director of the Coordination Unit of the Regional Directorates. After a brief stint as Secretary of State for Public Health, she is attached as a consultant to the Executive Directorate of the Ministry’s Execution and Coordination Unit. She remained there until her retirement in April 1986.

Ms. Adeline Jocelyn Verly was cremated on June 17, 2020 in Ottawa. Only ten family members were allowed to see her one last time and say a short prayer for the rest of her soul at the Héritage funeral home in Orleans.

Frantz Liautaud, Ambassador of the Republic of Haiti to Canada, and the members of the diplomatic mission offer their sincere condolences to the family members and relatives of the deceased."
