Describing her as a jovial and caring individual, the Guyana Press Association, in a statement attributes, Baynes-Henry will be remembered for being strong about her opinions and views and for nurturing those under her wings.

“Namela’s contribution to the media will not be forgotten,” the press association said.

The veteran journalist is the 121st person to have died from COVID-19 since it was first detected in Guyana one year ago. To date, well over 9,000 persons have contracted the virus.
