Sybil Antoinette Nurse was affectionately known as Anti Sybil, Grand Ma, Little Brown Jug, Nurse Nurse; Binks; Pabay; Matron Sybil, SA. The steps of a virtuous woman is ordained by her Heavenly Father. He guided her footsteps, every step of the way to always make wise and conscious decisions daily especially when it came to all her loved ones. Her open arms lovingly accepted all who came to her door step. Sybil Antoinette Nurse was born to Captain Willie and Constance Austin on the 2nd September 1923 in Georgetown, Guyana. She was the last of five sisters, Vera, Enid, Madelyn, and Lucille, and one brother, Lloyd. Sybil left Georgetown, Guyana and migrated to Port of Spain, Trinidad at the age of seven. She was reared in Port of Spain, where she attended Eastern Girls Government Secondary School and completed the courses of studies towards her Junior Cambridge degree. Upon Completion of her high school education, she remained in Trinidad to assist in the care of her nieces and nephews while deciding her life career. Then in 1941, she relocated back to Guyana where she began her nursing, mid wife training in Mabaruma, Essequibo. This training produced an individual who could give an injection in ……you know where …..and you did not even know when you were hit. You end up still waiting to say ouch! In later years, this talent would cause her to be called to as a needed person to the United States. At this point on gaining adulthood, she fell for fat fowl of nuts and chocolate from Ted Nurse (aka " Sonny"; "Karachi", the Lion in the Cage). After falling for the fat fowl and bowling out all the other ladies with high hopes of winning Karachi's affection Sybil accepted Ted's proposal of marriage. We understand who Sybil was when she accepted the charge of wife and motherhood to Victoria, Bernadette and Michael (Boyie) all at the same time. Then along came Larry, Teddy, Tamara and Michelle. An opportunity developed and Sybil took advantage of it by accepting a position at Patterson General Hospital, when the US Government was in dire need of nurses. This path opened many doors and gave her the foundation needed to bridge the gap between countries for her family members and many others. She never looked back and her doors remained open, 431 East 46th Street is always the house of Refuge.
