Mary Thomas is a remarkable woman who has lived an incredible 107 years of life. She was born on February 14, 1918, a time when World War I was still raging on. Despite the tumultuous world around her, Mary's family and loved ones gathered to celebrate her latest birthday, a testament to her resilience and the love she has built throughout her long life.
Hailing from Dunbarton, Jamaica, Mary married Charlie Thomas and together they had 12 children. While four of them sadly passed away in infancy, Mary went on to become a mother to 25 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren, 25 great-great-grandchildren, and five great-great-great-grandchildren. Her family, spanning six generations, came together to throw her a party at her home in Stonebridge, located in the London borough of Brent.
As reported by the New York Post, a family friend named Patricia Wharton shared, "Mary's family gathered to celebrate not just her incredible age, but the legacy of love and resilience she has built. The event was a testament to the strong bonds that have united six generations of the family." She added, "Mary's journey through life has been nothing short of extraordinary."
Known for her love of fashion, Mary donned an all-white outfit with a matching fur-trimmed hat for her birthday celebration. Despite her impeccable sense of style, her grandchildren still remember her as a strict and no-nonsense grandmother. However, they all still adore and cherish the woman who paved the way for their large family.
Fondly called "Mama" by her loved ones, Mary was surprised with a cake that displayed her age in numbers. Her family continues to be amazed by her, with the friend noting her exceptional memory and ability to recite scripture without any prompting. Even though her husband passed away 32 years ago, Mary still speaks of him with love and keeps his legacy alive for the next generation.
While Mary may not hold the title of the oldest living person in the world (that reportedly belongs to Brazilian nun Inah Canabarro Lucas), she is among the few who have reached the impressive age of 107. Her family continues to honor their history and elders, and they all cherished the opportunity to celebrate the oldest living member of their family. Mary's life is truly extraordinary and serves as an inspiration to all who know her.
