Minister of Social Protection, Amna Ally, paid a visit to centenarian Edmay McIntosh at her Friendship, East Bank Demerara home. Whilst there the Minister presented the centenarian with a hamper on behalf of President
David Granger.
McIntosh, or as she is more fondly referred to, Ms. Mac, attained the age of 104 on January 26, 2017. She is the mother of four; three boys and a girl who is now deceased. She not only has grands and great-grands but is also a great, great grandmother.
The centenarian is a lover of food and keeps abreast with the news via radio since her eyesight does not allow her to read as much as she used to.
Born in Paramaribo, Suriname, Ms Mac later moved to Guyana as a young child with her parents. She is the eldest of seven children, two boys and five girls. She is the only surviving sibling.
She thanked Minister Ally for meeting with her and sent her regards to the President for her hamper. She gave all thanks to God for blessing and keeping her in good health and strength to have reached the age of 104.
