Cozier, who died on May 3 by hanging, in what was ruled a suicide, will be laid to rest at the Kingstown cemetery, following a funeral service at the Kingstown Park Church of Christ, on Saturday, May 19.

Her death sent shockwaves throughout the country; being the third such death in the space of one week.

The 36-year-old woman, originally from Sandy Bay, who resided at Prospect at the time of her death, leaves behind a husband of ten years, a five-year-old, and six-months-old twins.

She was described by people who knew her in her old community as a warm-spirited person, who was a source of encouragement.

Though shocked by the manner of her passing, friends acknowledged that she was not well in the weeks leading up to her death.

The past student of the Sandy Bay Primary and North Union Secondary Schools was a former University of the West Indies Open Campus employee.

She is said to have suffered bouts of depression in the past.
