Amos Gelin, 69, of Lancaster, a dedicated family man and a beloved member of the Haitian Maranatha Bible Church, passed away on October 1, 2023, after a battle with a lengthy illness. He was years old. Born on October 12, 1953, in Haiti, Amos was a hard worker. Before his illness he was a line employee at Tyson Foods, where he devoted ten years of his life.

Outside of his work, Amos had a passion for life’s simple pleasures. He loved to unwind by watching movies. Additionally, he had a fondness for playing the lottery, always hopeful that his luck might strike it big. These hobbies brought him moments of joy and excitement throughout his life. Above all, Amos cherished his role as a loving father and husband. He was married to his beloved wife Alta, June 28, 2007. He was a pillar of strength and support for his family.

Left to treasure his memory, is his wife Alta Desir; his children, Witlene Pascal, Marielita Gelin, Magno Gelin, Kathy Gelin, Lukner Gelin and Adner Gelin; and six great grandchildren.
