At 112 y-o, Jane Young loves Guinness stout Centenarian said to be oldest person alive in Jamaica

Jane Young is the oldest living
 person in Jamaica

AT 112, Jane Young may very well be the oldest person alive in Jamaica today.

'So far she is the oldest person that we know of,' Ingrid Hardy, parish organiser for St Andrew at the National Council for Senior Citizens said. "If there is someone older, nobody has called us about that person yet, so right now she is the oldest that we know of," she said. "When we heard she was 112, we said we can't let the opportunity pass and therefore we will try to keep up with you to see how you are doing," Hardy told Young at her belated birthday party held two weeks ago at the St Andrew Sunrise Cottage on Manning's Hill Avenue.

Young was born on June 22, 1901 in Milk River, Clarendon.

Hardy said that the oldest person that they had come across since they started a centenarian programme in 1991, was 110. She died at 113 years old. Read more....
