Mrs. Consuelo E. Tomlinson (nee Morgan) was born on August 1930 in Panama City, Panama.  Her father was principal of a local school and her mother taught English.  Her parents came from Jamaica, by way of Costa Rica, where her two older brothers were born.  She lived in Panama until the age of 14 ½, whereupon the family migrated back to Jamaica and settled in Kingston. At the age of twenty, she left Kingston and migrated to London, England, to pursue nursing.  There she met the dashing Mr. Oswald P. Woodham (nicknamed Ossie), whom she married in 1955.  In London, she was certified as a Registered Nurse and Midwife and received a certificate in industrial Nursing. In 1963, the year after Richard was born, Ozzie and Consuelo (affectionately known as Ms. Muffet or Muff) moved back to Jamaica and resumed life there. In 1972 her marriage to Ossie was annulled by the Roman Catholic Church, and she later found the gentleman who was to be the love of her life, Mr. Keble A. R. Tomlinson.  She married Keble in 1976, then they moved to Brooklyn in 1986.  Consuelo and Keble shared a glorious 13 years together until his sudden and tragic passing in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn in 1989.

Consuelo enjoyed an illustrious nursing career as a Registered Nurse for over 49 years. Most notably, she ran a clinic for over a decade in Myersville, St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, at the behest of her company, Alpart.  She practiced nursing in England, Jamaica and the US. 

Consuelo was a vibrant woman.  She was a faithful Roman Catholic and part of her Rosary Society.  She was busy into everything and fearless.  Quite the avid traveler, she went to most continents.  Among her favorite trips were her vigil to Medjugorje (Bosnia / Herzegovina), Egypt, Australia and New Zealand with her brother Dr. B.A.F. Morgan, Thailand, India, and Panama (to visit, years later). She enjoyed an active life until age 92, when she had a stroke two weeks after her 92nd birthday.  Being an active woman all her life, she became somewhat depressed when she was bedridden in the last year of her life.  Nonetheless, she maintained strong connections with her people at St. Catherine of Genoa Roman Catholic Church, Hebrew Education Society, Vanderveer Park United Methodist Church, and Brooklyn Academy of Music.

She leaves behind two sons Richard and Gavin; three grandchildren Richard II, Brianna and Sabrina; great-grandson Jalen, sister Yvette, sister-in-law Evelyn (Aunt Dottie) and a host of cousins, nieces and nephews.  Consuelo will be missed by all who knew her.
