Janetha Bend was the centre of attention today when she celebrated her 100th birthday.
She engaged Governor General Sir Clifford Husbands in pleasant conversation and kept the others around on their toes with her witty remarks.
Surrounded by family and friends Bend gave thanks to God for allowing her to reach that age and she expressed gratitude to those who visited to show their appreciation.
The vibrant and comical birthday girl still has all her faculties intact and makes a daily task of cleaning and washing and tending to several fruit trees in her yard.
She does not wear glasses, can thread a needle and does her own mending. She is also an avid writer and reader who as she puts it, “does not lie up much”.
Benn admitted she still likes to party and was looking forwardto one the family had planned for her the evening. (LK)
