Time is the greatest storyteller. In this heartfelt tribute, family, friends, loved ones honour Murtle Demmitt, a remarkable woman whose 102 years of life are filled with strength, grace, and an unshakable spirit. Born on June 24, 1923 in northern Old Harbour region of Bartons, St Catherine, Murtle’s journey spans a century of love, faith, and the enduring power of family.
From a childhood rooted in resilience to a lifetime of guiding her loved ones with wisdom, Murtle’s story is a testament to what truly matters. Her birthdays aren’t just celebrations, they’re family reunions wrapped in gratitude, reminding everyone of the beauty in patience, kindness, and giving. And so it was yet again, as those closest to the centenarian were present to mark yet another milestone achievement at a family residence in Marlie Mount, Old Harbour.
Through changing times, Miss Murtle has remained a guiding light, her stories leaving an indelible mark on generations.
