102-year-old Columbus woman shares surprising secret to living a long life

Показать описание

Elinor Campbell Feihel is a woman who doesn't mince words.

"I had to be fixed up for my senior prom and it was the worst night of my life," she said during an interview for ABC 6's latest installment of Positively Columbus.

That prom was 84 years ago. Now almost 102 years old, Feihel has the spirit of someone decades younger.

"I’m in touch with a lot of people, a lot of people," she said. "I send out 130 to 150 Christmas cards. I'm good for something. Not just taking up space."

Charming woman she is. Love her sense of humor. So beautiful to see this. Truly inspirational. 🙌💚 My Dad was born June 9, 1927. She was just starting school. Again, love seeing this. 🙂

Wow! She’s amazing! I’d love to just sit and listen to all her stories. There would be a million questions running through my mind. I hope she has a very happy birthday!

I want to meet her!!! Her family is lucky to have her I’d go over every chance I got to have a drink and listen to her talk😊

I know it’s a cliché to say it, but she is an inspiration. Sharp as a tack, too.

I can't stop thinking about her. Is this a prank? I am absolutely flabbergasted. Well she gives me hope. Maybe being a senior now doesn't mean the eminent end.
