Even after living through Hurricane Janet, raising ten children and overcoming the loss of a leg from diabetes, newly minted centenarian Eunice Lenora Kirton says she has just two words to describe life at 100: “No complaints.”

The milestone birthday was marked on Monday at her Eastlyn, St George home, where President Jeffrey Bostic visited to congratulate her.
