## Resource

At 108, Sister Colette Hickey is Ireland’s oldest living person — a living archive of history who witnessed ten popes, two World Wars, the moon landing, and Waterford’s hurling glory. Born in County Waterford, she joined the Good Shepherd Sisters at 17 and later founded Edel House in Cork, a lifeline for homeless women and children still in operation today. A visionary whose roots remain deeply tied to her homeland, she’s celebrated as a pioneer who shaped Ireland’s social fabric through quiet, enduring courage.
