Marcelle Fenton, the force unmatched (Part I)

  • fave
  • like
  • share

While children from other households would eagerly welcome toys as gifts, Fenton and her siblings were excited to be gifted with books.

“I have been both an educator and a member of the life insurance industry for decades.

I joined the insurance industry in 1983 and have moved through the ranks while also being a teacher for 45 years at the secondary and tertiary levels, including Church Teachers’ College and the Management Institute for National Development,” she said.

She was recognised as Man of the Year (2000) by the Life Underwriter’s Association of Jamaica, now Jamaica Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors, and inducted into the CARAIFA Hall of Fame for service to the insurance industry in 2006.

Now the executive branch manager of Chancellor Insurance Agency in Mandeville, a justice of the peace, and a motivational speaker who has presented across the world, Fenton continues to make her mark as she has so much more left in her.
