She was the first member of The Centurian Club I ever had the pleasure of knowing. She always greeted me with a smile and had an amazing handshake. I will never forget the first time I worked on her Apartment at Clearwater Springs. I saw the Old Age Ain't For Sissies sign on her door and Centurian Plaque on the wall. I was a little intimidated. I asked are you really 100? She says Nope !! I'm 101, then started laughing. She was nice enough to answer the 50 questions I had about everything imaginable. She was a lovely person indeed.
