Barbados’ newest centenarian is former educator Ada Judith Straughn, former principal of The Alexandra School, who also taught at The St. Michael School.

Yesterday, Ms Straughn celebrated the milestone with a special visit from the Most Honourable Jeffrey Bostic, President of Barbados.

Ms Straughn’s friends and relatives say the centenarian is an outstanding lady, known for having a soft voice but speaking with much clarity and authority.
