101-y-o Margaret Martin still standing strong

At 101 years old, Margaret 'Rose' Martin is still standing strong. Born in 1924, Martin’s life has been marked by hardship, sacrifice, migration, and faith. From working instead of attending school as a child, to raising five children on her own, to spending 40 years in Canada before returning home in her 90s, her journey reflects resilience across generations. Today, at 101, she continues to cook, walk on her own, attend her doctor’s appointments, and even help care for her daughter who is battling multiple health challenges. In this Old Harbour News feature, we step inside her home and her story — a powerful reminder that strength does not retire, and faith does not fade. 📍 Location: West Prospect, Bog Walk St. Catherine 🎥 Produced by: Old Harbour News 🎤 Reporter: Alexia King-Whyte If you enjoyed this story, like, comment, and subscribe for more. #oldharbournews #centenarian #jamaica #humaninterest #101yearsstrong #communitystory #inspiration #jamaicancentarian #oldestjamaican
