KINGSTON, Jamaica —The funeral service of Jamaican teacher Annya Duncan who was killed in a plane crash in Antigua is scheduled for Saturday at the Webster Memorial Church on Half-Way-Tree Road in Kingston.

A teacher in Montserrat, Duncan was killed at the St Johns airport on October 7, when the airplane she was in skidded off the runway during take-off.

Duncan, who observed her 29th birthday on the day of her death, and the Antiguan pilot of the Fly Montserrat aircraft, Jason Forbes, died in the crash.

The nine-seater aircraft was destined for Montserrat where Duncan had been teaching Mathematics since 2010.

“She will be interred in St Mary beside her grandmother,” a close friend told the Observer Friday.
