Mrs. Enid Beazer of Barbuda celebrates her 101st birthday today 6th January 2023 on the Sister Isle of Barbuda.

Mrs. Beazer carries many names but the most treasured of them all is mother. Mrs. Beazer is a firm believer in the family institution.

She adores her family and would do anything to see her family prosper. She always made the tough decisions to make sure her off springs had a good life.

She was a tray lady. In Barbuda, ambitious women would have a tray on their head or at their side selling bits and pieces to supplement their family’s income.

Mrs. Beazer was a savvy businesswoman in her younger days. She sold candies, snacks and sucka bubby on the government wall outside the Holy Trinity School compound.

She targeted the most loyal customers any business could wish for – school children. She marks your face to make sure you remained loyal to her.

Enid celebrated this milestone in the form of a church service at the Barbuda Anglican church where she was surrounded by dignitaries from Antigua to include the Govenor Generals ADC who represented on the behalf of His Excellency Sir Rodney Williams , Acting Director of Community Development and Citizens’ Engagement Division Ms. Rhea Jeffery and other members of staff, family, friends and members of the church and community.

Senator Nacyntha Nedd Charles a Barbudan Senator was also in attendance.

To date there are 23 living Centenarians, 19 females and 4 males.
