Happy 100th Birthday | Cornelia Ashby Nisson

  Cornelia Ashby Nisson attended Dixie Elementary School until sixth grade, Woodward from seventh to 10th grade and then finished at Dixie Normal School, now Dixie State University during the Great Depression. In 1934, Cornelia Ashby became a teacher for the Rockville Schoolhouse.

 

Even at 100 years old, Cornelia loves to read, particularly the newspaper, church news and magazines. She loves to know what's going on around town and visit with her family.

 

"Her key to longevity would be clean-living and good food," her daughter Fleming said. "She never eats fast food. She doesn't look her age at all. She's never dyed her hair and it's just beginning to show some grey."   Read the full story here at StGeorgeNews.com
