With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved sister, Mannika Charles-Warrington, affectionately known as "Little D" or "Nika." She was born on April 7th, 1988, in Dominica to Meredith Leslie-Wright of Wesley and Jeffery Charles of Marigot.

Mannika spent her early years in Wesley, Dominica. She attended the Wesley Primary School before migrating to St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. She continued her education at Adelita Cancryn Junior High School (Class of 2002) and graduated from Charlotte Amalie High School in 2006. Her academic journey led her to Palm Beach College where she completed an Associate of Arts degree in Psychology  in 2008. She furthered her education at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a specialization in Human Behaviour and a minor in Leadership Studies in 2011. She later went on to complete a certificate in Real Estate at Bob Hague Real Estate School in 2016.

Mannika touched the lives of many with her radiant smile, vibrant spirit, and infectious energy. She was a licensed Realtor and an NCCA Division I Alumni who proudly represented the US Virgin Islands as a professional beach volleyball player, competing in national and international tournaments. She was part of the USVI delegation to the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru.

Mannika departed this life on August 28th, 2024, leaving behind her husband, Kimbert Athnel Warrington, and her cherished children, Kimbert-Ezahn Warrington and Azahn Athnel Warrington.
