Ann-Marie Vaz mourns grandma
East Portland Member of Parliament Ann-Marie Vaz’s grandmother Eva May Wright has died.
Wright, who celebrated her 99th birthday last month, passed away on Sunday.
“I am enjoying a good life, and I say to people, do all the good you can to all the people, and God will help you,” Wright told The Gleaner at her party last month.
Vaz told The Gleaner then that she was giving thanks that her role model was still alive, having recently survived a massive heart attack and a bout of pneumonia.
“All that I am, I owe to Grandma. She is my rock ... .She made me dream big. She has given me an unshakeable sense of self, which has carried me through the trials and tribulations in my life,” Vaz said.
