Lindener celebrates 101st birth anniversary
Linden’s Charlotte Agatha Campbell, of Stewart Path, Christianburg, yesterday celebrated her 101st birth anniversary at her residence with a simple thanksgiving service at her home.
Aunt Gathie, as she is popularly known, was in a very exuberant mood, clapping and laughing and giving praises to God.
“I’m so happy to see this day, and I feel so blessed. God has indeed been good to me,” she enthused.
Displaying an energetic spirit that belies her age, Aunt Gathie boasted that she still tends to her garden everyday, pulling weeds and transplanting flowers. She also still takes care of her personal hygiene.
Aunt Gathie
Her 72-year-old son, Lincoln, has been living with her for many years, ever since his father died in 1969.
He sometimes answers questions on his mother’s behalf. The woman’s only complaints seem to be a little hearing problem and the occasional arthritic pains.
Lincoln said that his mother credits her good health and longevity to eating lots of ‘bush fish’ and deer. Her father and brother were good hunters.
Aunt Gathie lived at Dalgin with her family before relocating to Wismar in the early seventies.
She has lived at her present residence ever since, except for her 18-year sojourn in Canada.
