I can’t believe she’s 102! She so alert and confident. I would have guessed she’s in her 80s!

You learn from hardships.

My great grandma passed away at 95 in 2019 and she lived through the Great Depression as well, she wore altered potato sacks to school as dresses and dug old bread out of the bakery’s dumpster to eat. She said she wouldn’t have changed it for the world though, that it made her tough enough to survive anything! She was a badass.

Holy moly, what a classy lady. You can tell she still cares about her appearance. And she's really lucid. Some older people are just barely talkative.
