Inah Canabarro Lucas has lived a life full of faith, gratitude, and experiences… |
Inah Canabarro Lucas was born in São Francisco de Assis, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, on June 8, 1908, the daughter of João Antonio Lucas and Mariana Canabarro Lucas. Although she claims to have been born on May 27, 1908, research indicates that she was probably born 11 days later. As a child, she was so thin that many people didn’t think she would survive childhood. She is the great-granddaughter of General David Canabarro. Her father died in combat in 1923.
Canabarro Lucas studied at the Santa Teresa de Jesus boarding school in Santana do Livramento, Rio Grande do Sul. Around 1928, she moved to Montevideo, Uruguay, where she became a nun. In 1930, she returned to Brazil to teach Portuguese and mathematics at a school in the Tijuca district of Rio de Janeiro. In the early 1940s, she returned to Santana do Livramento, where she worked as a teacher. Canabarro Lucas currently lives in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, at the age of 115. At the age of 110, she began to have some difficulties walking and had to start using a walker. She credits her longevity to God.
Inah Canabarro currently lives in a provincial house of the Teresian Sisters and is often visited by her great-nephews. Inah has problems with her eyesight and hearing, but she is still in very good health and loves to receive visitors.
