Amy (Tiny) Ratteray-Stovell (pictured)will be remembered by family and friends as being an accomplished singer and an outgoing and loving person.

And she will live on in the hearts of those closest to her as an unselfish and inspiring individual.

On Sunday, Ms Stovell became the 11th peson to die on Bermuda's roads in 2001, when she succumbed to serious head injuries she suffered in a road traffic accident on November 16, last year.

Ms Stovell was 55-years-old.

She was travelling along Dutton Avenue that evening when her cycle slid on the wet road.

The next day, she was air-lifted to Johns Hopkins University, where she remained since her passing on Sunday.

Ms Stovell's sister Ruth Galloway, son Major Stovell and other family members took time to speak to The Royal Gazette last night, with her sister saying the accident has been a testing ordeal of strength, especially during the holidays.

“I visited her twice while she was in the hospital,” Ms Galloway said. “It was very sad to look at.”

Ms Galloway said her sister showed glimmers of hope during her recovery, even regaining consciousness for several days.

“She was able to breathe on her own for eight days,” she said. “She was quite conscious - she called our names like that for a week but she started to lose her consciousness and then she slipped away.”

Ms Galloway said she will remember the happier times she had with her sister, especially her days as a singer in the 60s and 70s.

She was very popular then, Ms Galloway said, singing jazz and “hits of the day” with local musician Michael Clarke and his band.

Her niece Sharilyn Shabazz remembered her aunt “Tiny Ray” and said: “She had no formal voice training - her love of life was singing and entertaining others. She was very gifted and talented. She used that voice to inspire, that was her way of showing her love to us. She overcame a lot of past pains in her life, but no matter what she was going through, her voice was always there. With her gone, a golden voice has been silenced.”

Ms Stovell's death is the second this year following the death of 20-year-old Chardre Yawana Outerbridge on January 1.

Ms Outerbridge suffered severe head, spinal and chest injuries in a multi-vehicle accident on December 29.

Their deaths will be recorded among last year's fatalities.

Meanwhile, Police have reissued a plea for the driver who attended to Ms Stovell at the time of her accident to come forward, as well as anyone else who may have witnessed the incident.
