THE Ministry of Human Services and Social Security recently honoured an extraordinary milestone—Francis Azore, a cherished resident of Buxton, celebrated her 100th birthday on November 8, 2024.

Born and raised in the vibrant village she still calls home, Ms. Azore has lived a life defined by love, resilience, and dedication to her family. As a mother, her firm yet affectionate approach has been a source of strength and guidance, leaving an indelible mark on her children and loved ones.

Known for her love of traditional Guyanese flavours, Ms. Azore’s favourite meal is a hearty plate of salt fish and provision, complemented by the refreshing sweetness of “swank”—a classic lime drink that embodies the simplicity and joy of her life.
A pillar of her family, Ms. Azore holds the unique honour of being the only member to reach the remarkable age of 100. Her enduring vitality and spirit continue to inspire all who know her.

The Ministry joined her family and friends in celebrating this incredible achievement, a testament to her rich legacy and the vibrant culture of Buxton. Here’s wishing Ms. Azore continued health, happiness, and love in the years to come!
