Linsford Castillo, PUP Secretary General
"I will now read a statement from our party leader which was issued to the media earlier today; "All of us in the people's United Party are grateful for the life of Mrs. Jane Usher. Her contribution to the development of this nation is unmatched. Miss Jane, as everyone fondly knows her spent her life in the service of others. As a PUP minister of housing or as the head of her beloved Holy Redeemer Credit Union, Miss Jane was about the people. She worked in the service of regular Belizeans who through their small contributions were able to build their homes, educate their children or buried their parents. I am proud to be the leader of a party that was beloved by Miss Jane. In the PUP, we celebrate her contributions, we give thanks for her years of guidance and sensible counsel and we stand here in solidarity with her children and grandchildren, because we know that through all her years of service, Miss Jane was first and foremost a matriarch, a mother and grandmother who loved all her children and grandchildren.""
Jane Usher's funeral is set for Tuesday December 18th. It will be an official funeral. She leaves behind 10 children, 34 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren.
