Family and friends celebrate 103rd birthday of dear lady
By Carlena Knight
It was a day of cheers and broad smiles for Margaret Myrtle McCarty Peters who celebrated her 103
rd birthday yesterday.
Peters created history by becoming the first centenarian to celebrate her day via the Community Development Division’s virtual celebration initiative.
The initiative which falls under the Ministry of Social Transformation, Human Resource Development and the Blue Economy, came about due to the social distancing protocols which had to be adhered to due to Covid. With this program operating via Zoom, it gives families, friends and other officials the opportunity to celebrate the lives of the many centenarians across the island.
