Rooted Booted Cherry Groce passes away on Easter Sunday April 24th, 2011 The family of Dorothy ‘Cherry’ Groce, the innocent lady gunned down in 1985, which left her paralyzed from the waist down and triggered the Brixton riots leading to a national uprising are now grieving her passing. Cherry died on Easter Sunday 24th April at Kings College hospital with her children, grandchildren, and siblings at her bedside. Cherry was born on the 30th March 1948 in the parish of Portland, the beautiful hidden secret of Jamaica. She came to England at the age of 13, to join her mother and siblings in Brixton. For 26 years Cherry courageously battled with numerous complications caused by the shooting. Although her life expectancy was only 10 years she continued to be an active central figure in her family and an inspiration to many and her life will stand as a testament to being strong and dignified through adversity, passing on a legacy for many to learn, follow and benefit from. A truly remarkable woman! Cherry Groce - Mother, Sister, Grandmother, and Great grandmother. RIP Cherry Groce is survived by her mother, 3 sisters, 8 children, 11 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. Devon C Thomas -Posted April 27, 2011- Operation Black Vote.https://www.obv.org.uk/
