Lucretia Bradford, Essequibo’s oldest woman, turned 105 last Wednesday.

Having achieved the milestone, Bradford credited her faith as well as her healthy diet for her long and healthy life.

“I read my Bible daily and I would teach my grandchildren verses from the Bible and I would share my knowledge. It is what keep me alive,” Bradford, a member of the Methodist church, said.
