Affectionately know as "Lady B" died at the Tony Thwaites wing of the University Hospital of the West Indies.
Lady Bustamante's contribution to public service started at the age of 19 when in the early 1930's alongside Sir Alexander Bustamante, they exposed the conditions under which workers were employed.
This culminated in the formation of the Bustamante Industrial Trade Union in 1938.
Lady Bustamante was also a part of the team which assisted in the many strategies as the trade union movement took root especially among the cane cutters and port workers.
She earned the trust of those who would change the political landscape with the formation of the Jamaica Labour Party in 1943.
The Jamaica Labour Party would go on to form the first Jamaican Government when independence was achieved in 1962.
