Nancy Marie celebrates her 108th birthday |28 January 2017

Nancy Marie, the oldest living Seychellois, is 108 years old! She celebrated her birthday on January 26.

Mrs Marie lives at Ma Joie in the English River district.

To celebrate the occasion, the English River district authorities and her family organised a special ceremony at her residence yesterday.

Wilbert Herminie, the member of the National Assembly for the district, also called on Mrs Marie to wish her a happy birthday.

“My mother can still iron clothes, cook and take her bath herself. She even looks after her great grandchild,” says Anne, her daughter.

Mrs Marie has two children – Anne and Guy.

Mrs Marie kept smiling during our visit at her ma Joie residence, which commands a spectacular view of Victoria , a view she says really makes her feel well whenever she stares at it.
