Guyana loses another centenarian
Campbellville resident Sybil Emilyn Grannum, better known as Aunt Emmy, has passed away.
Sybil Emilyn Grannum
The centenarian, who was the oldest member of the Redeemer Lutheran Church in Campbellville, died at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation at around 10:30 hrs yesterday.
Just recently, she was honoured with a special thanksgiving ceremony held in the same church which she had been attending almost all her life.
The beautifully organised ceremony had served as an emotional reunion for Aunt Emmy’s extended family, in late February.
The energetic senior citizen who, up until she died, was still climbing staircases and peeling ground provisions, was a well-known winemaker in her day, being able to make tasty wine from almost any ingredient – from plantain to potatoes.
