Dharmie Deo is now a supercentenarian.

The Moruga native, who now resides in Penal, reached the impressive age of 110 on April 27th.

Born in 1914, her father was an Indentured Labourer who came to Trinidad from India on the Fatel Razack, according to relatives.

Ms Deo is the mother of seven, however, six of her children have passed.

She is also the grandmother of approximately 40, great-grandmother of 23, and great-great-grandmother of approximately 20.

Her husband passed away 69 years ago.

Ms Deo says she has no secret to longevity, and maintains a simple routine of eating twice per day.

In her youth, she delighted in “spreading the pal” and singing at weddings and attending cultural celebrations such as the Divali Nagar and festivities for Indian Arrival Day.

However, due to age-related issues, she now participates less frequently in these events.

To mark the occasion, her family hosted a celebration at her Penal home.

Joining the celebration was Ms Crystal Felix, Inspector II of the Division of Ageing, who presented Ms. Deo with a Certificate of Honour and Achievement.

Ms Deo also received a food hamper courtesy the Social Development Minister Donna Cox, and a birthday cake from the Kiss Baking Company.
