Q:

What is your name?

A:

Queen Elizabeth Whitaker, named after my great grandmother.

Q:

How old are you?

A:

76. Precisely 76 years, six months, if I’m not wrong.

Q:

grandmother. So, I can proudly say I am quite old about you (laughs).

Q:

A:

Yes and no.

alive today. Secondly, I do not have any chronic ailment that I am currently diagnosed
with unlike the two of my surviving friends; God has been faithful and merciful to me.
Thirdly, I have been able to see my great grandchildren and God-willing I will be a great
great grandmother. Is there any other bigger blessing than that? Finally, I do not live on
the streets, and I am comfortable where I am at the moment. It’s God’s grace to be able to
be this old and have so many blessings.
