Mr. Tedroy McNabb, President of The Jamaica Chapter
Tonight ladies and gentlemen, I truly feel blessed and honoured to pay tribute to Pastor Eugene Preston Wolfley and his lovely wife, Pastor Frances Jenkins-Wolfley on behalf of the Happy Grove Alumini Association.
Happy Grove School is inextricably intertwined with the Friends Yearly Meeting in lowa in the United States. It was the Society of Friends who responded to the need for a high school in Hectors River and founded Happy Grove in 1898. Ever since then, notwithstanding the input of the Government of Jamaica, the influence of the Friends is ever present. In fact, prior to the visit of hurricane Gilbert in 1988, there was a residence for a Friends pastor at Seaside.
The Wolfleys first came to Jamaica in 1962, forty four years ago. The then chaplain, Pastor Bill Wagner, was completing his pastorship at Seaside. The Seaside Yearly meeting was so impressed with Eugene Wolfley that they asked the Yearly Meeting in the USA to appoint him as the replacement for the much-loved Pastor Wagner. Pastor Wolfley graciously accepted the appointment in 1963 and he became Happy Grove’s chaplain, a position he held along with that of pasturing Amity Hall, Seaside and Top Moro.
His first stint at Happy Grove spanned three years, 1963 to 1966. But, he never disconnected from the place he loved dearly and visited every other year until 1976. It was this year that he fell in love with Jamaica all over again and decided to stay. This time, he increased his work-load to include the management of two primary and five basic schools.
His impact on the community was great. When the Seaside Primary School was burnt to the ground, it was Eugene Wolfley who spearheaded a team to The Ministry of Education to solicit funds to rebuild it in its present form. He was very touched as he saw the need of the sick for transportation to visit the doctor. He was in the habit of taking persons in his car to see Dr. Gray in Manchioneal. Together they appealed to the Ministry of Health to donate the first ambulance to the Manchioneal area.
Between 1980 and 1991, Pastor Eugene Wolfley expanded his preaching Ministry to touch the lives of people in at least thirty countries in Asia, Europe and The Caribbean. In 1991, he returned to Friends Mission in lowa and later returned in 1999 to pastor Highgate.
Pastor Wolfley’s relationship with Happy Grove has continued unitl this day. He served as Chairman of the School Board between 2005 and March, 2006 when failing health forced him to resign. As board Chairman, he took an active interest in Happy Grove, travelling over to the school for his regular visits. He has enjoyed an excellent relationship with alumini, many of whom vividly remember him as chaplain there.
But, throughout all his many contributions to Happy Grove he has had the constant support of his wife, Pastor Frances Wolfley. She has served as international President for women of the Open Bible churches for thirteen years; she has served as commissioner chairman for The National Association Of Evangelical Churches, a body consisting of over 4,000,000 women; she has preached at Army bases in Japan and Georgia.
Eugene Preston Wolfley and Frances Jenkins-Wolfley, you are an awesome team. Your contribution to humanity is worthy of praise; your contribution to Happy Grove High School is as outstanding as it is priceless.
We will always remember your show of love and appreciation for us when you journeyed back from the United States last December just to be with us at the annual Reunion Dinner held here at the Alhambra Inn.
On behalf of the Happy Grove Alumini Association, I present this gift to you in recognition of your contribution to our Alma Mater. We would like you to know that as we update our school’s history, you will both be acknowledged as two of its finest architects. As you approach a new chapter of your lives, may you enjoy all the good things that you have worked for and truly deserve; may you both enjoy the love and joy of your children and grandchildren; may God’s bountiful blessings continue to fall on you.
