August 17, 1969 — May 25, 2026

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Olinka Stanley-Jabitta, a cherished mother, loving daughter, and beloved friend, who left this world on May 25, 2026, at the age of 56. Born on August 17, 1969, in Orlando, Florida, Olinka was a beacon of warmth and joy, whose presence enriched the lives of all who knew her. Olinka was the treasured daughter of Mrs. Carol Manor and the late Mr. John Authur Stanley Sr. She was preceded in death by her father, her dear sisters Deborah, Shantrilla, and Anethea, her brothers Linzey, Mark, Michael, and John Jr., and her beloved Aunt Quincey Stanley. Though she has left this earthly world, she is survived by her loving mother, Carol, who was her constant source of strength and wisdom. Olinka's vibrant spirit lives on through her children, who were the pride and joy of her life. She leaves behind her daughters, Shanteron and Demecia, and her sons, Kenyota and Nathan, who will forever cherish the love and laughter their mother brought into their lives. Her legacy continues through her six adoring grandchildren, who were the light of her life and testimony to her nurturing spirit. Olinka is also survived by her sisters Syalon Britton (Adam), Aylena Adams (Mike), Schyvonne Clare (Vito), and Tiffany Whitaker, and her brothers Anthony Stanley (Anquesha), Todd Stanley, Corey Stanley, Perry Stanley, Lawrence Wiley, Clinton Stanley (Shulonda), and Quinton Stanley. Her extended family and countless friends will remember her for the joy and warmth she generously shared with the world. Blessed with a quick wit and a warm smile, Olinka had an unparalleled ability to make everyone feel welcome and valued. She was known for her infectious laughter and her talent for lightening any mood with a well-timed joke. Her kindness and generosity knew no bounds, and her compassion touched the lives of many. A celebration of Olinka's life will be held on June 20, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Elizabeth Praise & Worship Center, located at 1218 Old Apopka Road, 32704. Family, friends, and all whose lives were touched by Olinka are invited to attend and share in remembering the beautiful soul who filled our lives with love and laughter. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Olinka's memory to a charity of your choice, reflecting her generous spirit and commitment to helping others. Though her physical presence is no longer with us, Olinka Stanley-Jabitta's spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved her. Rest in peace, dear Olinka, knowing that your light will continue to shine brightly in the lives of all you touched.
