"I don't know is how much of dem cause him (father) married three times so I don't know if there is anymore,"she explained.

This centenarian, who attended the Town Head Elementary, was a hard -working woman back in the day performing jobs such as weeding grass and breaking stone. She was also a fish vendor.

"My dear, I use to put the basket of fish on my head and sell them in front of the Town Head School; I use to break stone, and I use to weed grass," she said accompanied by a big smile.

However when asked about what she did for fun after work she responded, "there is not only one way of enjoying life. I never really had fun I just know how to work."

She remembers, just like it was yesterday, how she met her late husband and father of her 13 children, George.

She recalls that she was in the market at Town Head where she sold an item to a customer but did not have any change.

"Him was standing right there and I ask him for the change and him give mi," she said.

She said she couldn't recall how their friendship really developed but drew laughter to the room when she said, "My dear, sometime the friendship come on and yu don't even know it."

George predeceased her in 1969, and so have five of her children. Her eldest living child is 84 years old; she has 44 grand-children; 88 great-grandchildren and 41 great-great grandchildren.
