Barbados’ newest centenarian is former educator Ada Judith Straughn, former principal of The Alexandra School, who also taught at The St. Michael School.
Yesterday, Ms Straughn celebrated the milestone with a special visit from the Most Honourable Jeffrey Bostic, President of Barbados.
Ms Straughn’s friends and relatives say the centenarian is an outstanding lady, known for having a soft voice but speaking with much clarity and authority.
They say she is also a patient, God-fearing woman who has been actively involved in all aspects of St Leonard’s Anglican Church.
David Straughn says that, as a child, he watched the centenarian show him and his two brothers what it meant to be a devoted mother and wife.
