The Ministry of Human Services recently honoured Ellen Bowen, a remarkable centenarian from Cane Grove, East Coast Demerara (ECD), as she celebrated her 101st birthday. Her life of resilience, family devotion, and community service continues to inspire all who meet her. During the Ministry’s visit on Friday, she welcomed the team with a radiant smile, expressing her joy at having visitors. “I’m so happy to have company,” she said, adding that she hopes the Ministry will return soon. The second of nine siblings, Ellen Bowen has lived a life shaped by love, strength, and a deep commitment to those around her. Even at 101, she remains active, spending her days engaged in one of her lifelong passions: knitting. Known for her patience and creativity, she has even customised her wheelchair to continue her craft comfortably.
Her knitting, a testament to her dedication and quiet joy, reflects a lifetime of creativity and care. The Ministry showcased some of her beautifully crafted work, highlighting her enduring talent.
As she marks this incredible milestone, her story stands as a celebration of community, family, and the inspiration that comes from a life well-lived.
