Biography

Julia Amelia da Conceição came from Alagoas when she was young, but she is not sure how old she is. The trip, on horseback, was made with the parents. In Ceara, she did not marry nor have children. As a family, today her niece Ivanir Pereira, her caretaker, has won a "great-granddaughter", granddaughter of the niece Ivanir.

The six-year-old helps her in what she likes to do: eat. "I like to play with her, give her milk, water, banana and talk to her," says Barbara Kethyllen.

Of the pleasures still possible at this point in life, the centenary confirms that hers is even food. "Too much. If I were to give it, I'll give it to an ox and she'll eat it, "laughs her niece. In the routine of Júlia can not miss the morning milk, the vitamin in the snack and the affections of the "great-granddaughter", who assists in the care.

Among the souvenirs, da Conceicao still keeps seeing Padre Cicero, patron of Juazeiro from the north, close by, attending Mass with a sister.
