Josette Trévil (76) of Brandon, FL passed away peacefully and surrounded by love on April 11, 2026. Josette was born in Port-au-Prince, Haïti on March 19, 1950 to Marguerite and Charitable Trévil. She spent her early years in Haiti, where she developed a strong academic foundation and a deep sense of purpose that would guide her throughout her life. She attended Lycée des Jeunes Filles for secondary (high) school, where her commitment to excellence first became evident. In 1972, Josette moved to Brussels, Belgium, where she completed medical school in 1979 from the Université Libre de Bruxelles. Following her medical training, Josette relocated to Chicago, IL, which was central to both her career and her family life. It was here that she established herself as a dedicated physician at several Chicago area hospitals, nursing homes and care centers, specializing in physical therapy and rehabilitation. Medicine served as an extension of her compassion.

Beyond her professional life, Josette's love for caring for others was also shown through mother and sisterhood. She also found great joy in playing tennis and traveling, encouraging family and friends to share that love and build everlasting memories. In 2015, Josette moved to Atlanta, GA alongside her daughter and sister, prior to eventually settling in Central Florida, with continued connection and closeness to family. Josette is survived by her loving daughters, Sherene and Misha Cadet; her siblings, Gisele; Yolene; Jean-Robert; Myrtha; Margarette; Gerda and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends whose lives were touched by her presence. Josette will be remembered for her strength, generosity, commitment, commitment to care, laughter, and ability to bring people together. Her legacy lives on in the lives she healed, the family she nurtured, and the memories she created with those she loved.

Visitation will be held at Hillsboro Memorial Funeral Home, 2323 West Brandon Blvd, Brandon, FL 33511, US, on April 24, 2026, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.
