Eunice Afflick Schobug
Eunice Afflick Schobugh, a God-fearing woman, departed on Sept. 25, 2024, leaving behind three children: Millicent Redway Douglas, Beverley Grant, Clive Grant; son in laws Montrose Hinkson and Lynrod Douglas; five grandchildren: Esteban Vardez, Natasha Douglas, Ashley Der, Kamila Hinkson, Ariel Hinkson; great-grandchildren: Imani Douglas, Simone Douglas, Ayelle Douglas Blaize Cour.
Born Eunice Viola Afflick on April 26, 1928, she grew up in the scenic seaside village of Hectors River, situated in the Parish of Portland, known for its great beaches on the northeast coast of the beautiful island of Jamaica.
She was the third of four children born to Emma Ledwidge and Alva Afflick.
At 5′ 0″, she was industrious, enterprising (sold agricultural goods to neighbors and owned two bank accounts by age 13), audacious, persistently determined, and had a big dream for a better life.
This dream led her to the welcoming shores of Canada in the early 1960s, where she embarked on a new journey as the single mother of three children.
Eunice had a great love for family, but it was her passionate love for the Lord that became her most distinguishable characteristic. During her career in patient care at Montreal’s Royal Victoria Hospital, numerous stories surfaced about hospital patients being miraculously healed as a result of her ministry in song and prayer.
Although she had often lamented finding true love late in life, she nevertheless enjoyed 17 plus priceless years of happiness with her soulmate, the wonderfully humble Elisha Schoburgh of South Florida. This led her to become a snowbird, splitting her time annually between Montreal and Florida together with her beloved Elisha, who was called home by the Lord in 2014.
Over the years, she wore many hats within her church community, where she was affectionally known as “Sister Scoby.” Eunice believed in her heart that the Church’s mission is to be a witness to God’s narrative of the world, and so she was always available to be a servant leader wherever she was needed.
She faithfully supported worthwhile charitable causes in Canada, Jamaica and Israel, facilitated a phone prayer request line, provided home-cooked meals to the homeless and took the ministry of music to seniors in nursing homes.
When it came to the things of God, nothing was off-limits to this prayer warrior who never grew tired of doing kingdom work.

In Memory of You.
It’s been 5 years since you left us.
If we could visit heaven, even for a day maybe for a moment. The pain would go away. I would put my arms around you, and whisper words so true, That living life without you, is the hardest thing to do. No matter how we spend our days, no matter what we do, No morning dawns or evening falls, when we don’t think of you.
With love now and always. From Cyrilene, Debbie (Andrew) and the rest of the Nurse family!.

Jehovah was your God…
Adoration was your aim…
Good things you have done…
Illumination you got from the scriptures…
Salvation was your desire…
So very helpful you were…
