U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS – Governor Albert Bryan Jr. issued the following statement Sunday on the passing of Ann E. Abramson:
Our community has lost an icon and a prominent historical figure. Mrs. Abramson was a trailblazer for Crucian women in business and politics and was indeed a pillar of the Frederiksted community.
Her life and her many contributions to our cultural and political fabric are a true-telling of achievement and perseverance. Her remarkable work ethic and 95 years of life prove that hard work and commitment are the keys to a long and successful life.
Yolanda and I extend our most heartfelt condolences to her family, especially her son Rudy and all in our community who mourn her loss.
