Ruby Bute: Condolences from the President

It is with deep sadness that we learned of the death of Mrs. Ruby BUTE. An accomplished artist, a fervent representative of Saint-Martin art, particularly painting and poetry, which she practiced with great talent, Ruby left a lasting mark on her time and will forever remain a cultural and spiritual icon of our island.

Ruby Bute was a magnificent ambassador of Saint Martin culture and the Caribbean spirit. She was an example of wisdom and kindness and represented her community wonderfully. She leaves behind a major artistic work, representative of our "country", she who knew so well how to illuminate the beauty of Saint Martin.

The collectivité of Saint-Martin, on behalf of President Louis Mussington, elected officials and its staff, extends its sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of Mrs. Bute, who will forever remain in the hearts of the people of Saint-Martin.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.
