Reaching 100 Years Old In Style
 Ola Mae White of Oceanview Merced Heights and Ingleside (OMI), San Francisco turned 100 on November 12, 2012. The celebration was held at H's Lordship Restaurant in Berkeley with family and friends. Born in Louisiana, as an adult she moved to California in 1943. Mrs. White is lovingly known to the family as Mother and Momo. She is very proud of her 29 offsprings: 1 son, 3 grands, 11 great-grands and 14 great-great-grands and still counting. For more than four decades of private and public service she worked hard to improve the lives of her family. She said good genes and a total commitment to healthy living is required if you want to live to be 100. Speaking of longevity, Mrs. White's older sister Mattie will turn 102 years old on December 9, 2012. She has a few tips for longevity and living a happy life. They are: Friendships, Sense of Community/Faith and Love for God, Family and Purpose. What her family is most proud of is that she is still very much independent, strong, and tough and celebrates life to the fullest. Community Living Campaign is just happy to have someone in our midst to model our aging in place message. And that she contacted CLC to make sure that she takes advantage of the services and resources that are provided. Story by Community Connector Deloris McGee. |
