St. George: May 18, 2020: It is with a sense of profound shock and sadness that I learnt of the sudden passing of Her Honour Karen Noel. It is my understanding that Her Honour passed away at her home on Sunday, 17^th May.

Her Honour Karen Noel was a magistrate in the State of Grenada for many years and in recent times, she was attached to both the Eastern Magisterial District at St. David and the Northern Magisterial District at Sauteurs. 

During her tenure as Magistrate, Her Honour demonstrated an unwavering commitment to duty and from all reports, she was extremely respectful to all. Additionally, Her Honour was also a deeply religious person and was very much involved with church activities.

Her Honour Karen Noel will be greatly missed by all, especially her surviving relatives and friends, and members of the legal and church fraternities. 

On behalf of the Government and people of Grenada and on my own behalf as Minister for Legal Affairs, I extend sincere condolences to her mother and brother, other relatives and friends and to her colleagues of the legal fraternity.

May her soul rest in peace.
