Mrs Clara Ellen Dames, a widow and the oldest resident of Hatchet Bay, Eleuthera, quietly celebrated her 96th birthday on February 3rd, 2010 at home with her nieces and neighbors. After enjoying a generous slice of birthday cake with her favourite beverage, Fanta Orange Soda, Mrs. Dames expressed gratitude to God for the “best birthday” ever and a long life.

At The Eleutheran for each of the past two years, we proudly helped to celebrate the life of Mrs. Dames -  one of the Nonagenarians on the island.

Mrs. Dames, was cited by Ambassador Clifford Scavella in a 2008 interview as one of the older persons in the community who helped him to read as a boy growing up in Hatchet Bay.

She passed last week and will be fondly remembered for her many contributions to the community over her full life.

This is my dear great-grandaunt, Aunt Clara, as she was lovingly addressed. She will be deeply missed, but we will treasure her memories.
