These people, who were born in the first years of the Republic, raised their children very well during the famine and poverty years. Although they were shaken by the effects of the 1939 earthquake, they lived an honorable life.
Everyone who came from Tokat and Reşadiye after the 1939 earthquake tried to hold on to their new places and new lives like Hamide. Everyone from that region in the village became Hamide's relative and comrade.
In those years, the deaf and dumb father, who worked with a pick and shovel by sticking his teeth in his nails, prepared the ground for the future of his children with every pick he threw. Abdurrahman Üstün, who was deaf and mute, earned double wages by working in the hardest and hardest jobs, while everyone was receiving a single wage during the Taşova – Amasya road work. In return for this honorable struggle, their children embraced life more tightly and carried their own lives to a better position.
She was known as the "Wife of Ahraz" in the village of Yukarı Barak. But everyone in the family called her the Boss. When Ömer Üstün, his son-in-law, realized his leadership in the family, he wore this nickname when he was still in secondary school. Probably because he rules everything and everyone.
This big-hearted woman passed away in 2013. He left dozens of laments behind. Most of them were forgotten because they were not written. We commemorate this Anatolian woman who raised her five sons with mercy and longing.
May your soul rest in peace Boss Grandma...
