January 26 2024- The centenarian, born just outside London in 1917 during World War I, has offered advice for a long and fulfilling life. After working as a secretary, she moved to Australia with her husband in 1965, where she has resided ever since. Following her husband’s passing, she lived in a retirement village before relocating to an aged-care home in Queensland. A member of the Centenarian Club, she emphasized living life to the fullest, smiling, and enjoying whatever comes one’s way. Besides genetics and not smoking, she attributes her longevity to four lifestyle factors, with gardening being a significant part of her life. She has been gardening since childhood, winning awards for her gardening skills at various stages in her life, including competitions at her aged-care center.
