“Eat good,” Ms. Charles advised in advance of her 104th birthday on Tuesday, December 2. “I don’t eat no class of meat; give me my dasheen and other ground food and me fish and I don’t like no cold water either.”

The social gathering of church members, family, friends and well-wishers, followed the Sunday Mass which Ms. Charles regularly attends. The birthday celebration was organised by St. Vincent De Paul Society of which she is a member.
Ms. Charles is originally from Blowing Point. She has been residing for the past two-and-a-half years at the Tender Loving Care Nursing Home in The Valley.
