April 16, 2017. The 117-year-old woman who lived in the
hills of western Jamaica was believed to have become the
world’s oldest person, according to groups that monitor human
longevity. She died on Sept. 15, 2017. Associated Press/

On July 27, 2017, Violet
Moss Brown claimed a coveted
title with newspapers headlining
news stories that the
world’s ‘Oldest living woman is
Jamaican.’
Publishers rallied to report
the global news and reporters
jockeyed to find and research
the lifelong habits of the rural
Jamaican native many referred
to as Aunt V.
They wanted to discover the
secret to her longevity and perhaps
even pattern feasting on
the delicacies particularly the
yellow yam prevalent in her
Duanvale, Trelawny community.
Some wanted to walk the
walks she took to live 117 years
and 189 days.
The super-centenarian died
Sept. 15, 2017 and now in her
native island, a life-size bust —
will be erected in the tiny parish
where she lived.
Olivia Grange, the island’s
minister of culture, gender,
entertainment and sport, said
a monument to Violet Moss
Brown is set to become the first
in a series to mark Jamaica’s
Diamond Jubilee.
Arrangements are being
made to “have the bust ready
for unveiling on the anniversary
of ‘Aunt V’s passing,” Grange
said.
Moss-Brown was affectionately
called ‘Aunt V’ and
was the record holder for the
world’s ‘Oldest living person’
and ‘Oldest living woman.’
Grange said her office will
work with the Trelawny Municipal
Corporation to honor the
survivor who outlived many
of the world’s longest human
occupants.
Colin Gager, the mayor of
the parish of Falmouth, said
Palmers Crescent, the road on
which ‘Aunt V’s home is located
will be renamed in honor of the
supercentenarian.
Jamaica will celebrate 60
years of independence next
year.
Plans for the ministry and
the local municipality will collaborate
on a series of activities
in the lead-up to the official
period of commemorations.
TOOTS WINS POSTHUMOUS
REGGAE GRAMMY
Frederick Nathaniel Hibbert
was the big winner in the allstar
reggae category of the
63rd annual Grammy Awards
held in Los Angeles, California
recently. More commonly
known as Toots, the iconic lead
singer is best known for his
association with the Maytals
which he led until his unexpected
death.
Toots earned global recognition
and admiration throughout
his storied but succumbed
at age 77.
He garnered the coveted
music prize for his 10-track
“Got to be Tough” studio album
which he released last August.
This victory marks his second
after winning in 2005 for a
recording titled “True Love.”
“Toots put his all into this
album and I’m very glad to see
him recognized for his creative
excellence and musical genius,”
Jamaica’s culture minister
said. “This is a great moment of
celebration, not only for Toots’
family, his team or his record
label, but for all Jamaicans,
especially those of us in the
reggae industry.”
