LongeviQuest is pleased to report that Philomen Nicholas, the oldest resident of Saint Lucia, turns 110 years old.

On Wednesday, 23 October 2024, Philomen “Eldica” Nicholas celebrated her 110th birthday. She attributes her longevity to God.

Mrs. Eldica was born on 23 October 1914 in Dauphin (Laborne, Monchy) and then spent most of her adult life in Grande Riviere, Gros Islet. Her granddaughter said that Eldica is a former farmer.

Mrs. Nicholas is fairly independent as she could do household chores by herself, before moving in with her grandson in 2019.

Mrs. Eldica had two children whom she outlived, 9 grandchildren, over 25 great-grandchildren, and numerous great-great-grandchildren.

LongeviQuest sends our warmest greetings for Philomen Nicholas’ 110th birthday celebration. May she continue to be an inspiration to us.
