Vanessa Paschal, beloved daughter of John and Sadie Paschal, born on December 3, 1962, bid farewell to the world on September 30, 2023, in Brooklyn, New York. The epitome of a loving partner, devoted mother, and doting grandmother, Vanessa left behind an indelible mark on the hearts of those who knew her.

Having found her soulmate in Willie Calhoun, Vanessa embraced a journey filled with laughter, adventure, and unconditional love. Together, they raised two remarkable children, Bartholomew Paschal and Vanessa Paschal, who blessed them with the joys of parenthood and the boundless energy of nine grandchildren.

Vanessa's bright spirit and love for others extended far beyond her immediate family. With a zest for life that could rival the sun, she touched the hearts of many as she pursued a career at Maintenance Workers, always sporting a smile and bringing warmth to those around her.

Her educational journey began at South Shore High School, where she honed her intellect and graduated with flying colors in 1984. Fuelled by curiosity and an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Vanessa approached life with an open mind, embracing every challenge that came her way.

While our hearts ache at the loss of such a radiant soul, let us not mourn Vanessa's passing but instead celebrate the vibrant life she led. Remember the joyous moments, the infectious laughter that filled the room, and the love that radiated from her very being.

In her memory, let us continue to embrace life's adventures, appreciate the beauty around us, and cherish the bonds that tie us together. Rest in eternal bliss, dear Vanessa Paschal, knowing that you have forever left an imprint on our hearts.
