Ms. Meonette Bannis of Paix Bouche, turns 103 today, April 27. She thanks God for a long life but says that she took care of herself as well. Her diet included cocoa tea, ground provisions, and local meats. She laughs fondly as she reminisces about going to the ‘sous’ for drinking water.
Ms. Bannis is still very strong, walking everywhere and regularly making visits to the nearby town of Portsmouth. She hears well and jokes about seeing everything that happens in the village.
This afternoon a mass will be held at 3:00 pm in celebration of this milestone. Emonews extends congratulations to Ms. Meonette Bannis and her family on her 103rd birthday.
