    Bernice Rosalind Eugenie Sebastian—Philadelphia’s oldest known living resident—has died at 112 after a hospital stay in Olney. Her niece and caregiver, Marie Monique-Marthol, remembers a life rooted in education and mentorship in Saint Kitts and Nevis, and offers a heartfelt thank-you to the Germantown “village” that supported them.
