Maxine Henry-Wilson accepting her instrument of appointment to the Order of Distinction, Commander Class (CD), from Governor General Sir Patrick Allen in 2018.
IT was a delightful surprise for Maxine Henry-Wilson when she received the news that she had been appointed to the Order of Jamaica (OJ) in this year’s national honours and awards.
I have been in this thing for so many years from I was at high school [St Andrew High School for Girls] so it was totally unexpected,” the former Government minister told the Jamaica Observer.
On Thursday, Henry-Wilson’s joy was shared by the man who replaced her as the PNP’s representative in St Andrew South Eastern, Julian Robinson — who has held the seat since 2011.
“I think it is a fitting and well-deserved tribute for somebody who has devoted her entire life to public service.
