Alykutty Ammai passed away at the age of 98. Although I never met her, my mom has fond memories of her growing-up. On holiday's from Yercaud, my mom would visit all the
Palllaivathuckal families including Ammai at Parezekad. Alykutty Ammai was very soft spoken, gentle and smiling as mom remembers her. Even in contrast to Kanjirapally and
Thuruthipadav, Parezakad was like living in frontier country. And only able to get there by jeep. We have heard that till very recently Alykutty Ammai was very active and self suffient including washing
jeeps and cars as needed. She would walk to the nearby church for mass everyday. Her life seems like a legend. I invite all of you to add stories about her life so that we who live so far away and have not seen her can get to know our beloved Alykutty Ammai.
