At 93, Ismay Simpson is an exceptionally strong woman who still works every day as she has been doing all her life.
Simpson, known as ‘Granny Maria’ is a newspaper vendor, who aside from selling the dailies, does her own cooking and cleaning.
She is, quite possibly, the oldest newspaper vendor in Guyana.
The mother of four and grandmother of 72, refuses to stay inactive and insists, “Once I have the strength and health, I going to wuk.”
