A campus vigil for Amayah Charles, a sophomore nursing scholar at Notre Dame of Maryland University, will be held at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the faculty’s University Academic Building, 4701 N. Charles St. A prayer carrier could be held at 12:30 p.m. Thursday at Mercy High School, Northern Parkway, and Loch Raven Boulevard. Ms. Charles, who turned 19, died early Monday in a vehicle accident on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. A 2018 graduate of Mercy High School, she had plans to end up a hard work and shipping nurse.
“I knew her properly. The students, group of workers, and school at Mercy are devastated and heartbroken,” said Mary Beth Lennon, the Mercy president. Amayah exemplified the Mercy values of compassion, generosity, and recognition. She became an extrovert who constantly reached out to ladies who wanted a word of encouragement. Ms. Lennon stated, “Amayah was a committed daughter who cared for her siblings. Born in Baltimore and raised in the Catonsville vicinity, she turned into the daughter of Allison Makell and David Charles. She attended center college at KIPP Ujima Village Academy before entering Mercy.
This past summer, Ms. Charles returned to a KIPP software house at the University of Baltimore, where she became an alum educator in the Countdown to College Program. She mentored students who could soon be high faculty seniors. She was complete in life and became driven and passionate. She was a herbal leader, said Rita Bradunas, a KIPP group of workers in the KIPP Through College application. “She always had a wide smile. She becomes ambitious and concerned and sort. She brought a lot to something she undertook. A KIPP declaration said: “Amayah received university acceptances from over ten establishments and ultimately selected to wait for Notre Dame of Maryland University. Amayah has touched the lives of so many of us, our students and our alums — and they will usually stay part of our Team and Family.
Ms. Charles has become one of Mercy’s great-regarded college students. She also participated in fashion events at nearby charities and social organizations. She becomes an academically gifted pupil with first-rate private traits,” Ms. Lennon stated. Ms. Charles became the president of her junior elegance at Mercy and became the bankruptcy secretary of the National Honor Society. She belonged to the faculty’s steering and prom committees, the activities council, the International Club, the Social Justice Society, and the environmental club. She changed into a 4-yr member of the Madrigals.
She had a stunning voice and became a frontrunner in our discipline day activities,” Ms. Lennon said. Ms. Charles went directly to Notre Dame and became a nursing volunteer at the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center’s hard work and transport unit. She changed into a member of Fountain Baptist Church, in which she has been taken using her grandmother, Gretchen Makell, as a child. She may be substantially ignored by each person,” Notre Dame’s president, Marylou Yam, stated in an announcement. In addition to her mother and father, survivors include three brothers, David Charles Jr., Ali Charles, and Auston Askew; a sister, Ava Askew; her grandmother, Cheryl Charles, all of Baltimore; and her grandfather, David Charles of Trinidad.
