The Gleaner of 2 March 2015, “The Wolmer’s Family Pays Tribute to Avis Henriques,” wrote: “A recipient of the Jamaica Scholarship in 1942, she returned to her alma mater to teach French, Latin and English to decades of Wolmer’s girls.” A later Gleaner profile (7 March 2015) and a Who’s Who file say 1943. Both years are on the record.

She was later Commander of the Order of Distinction. The Gleaner of 27 February 2015 recorded CD for services to the business community.
