‘I didn’t ever think I would reach 95 years of age,’ said Caroline Conrad with a large grin on her face.
The senior citizen recently celebrated the milestone with her family in eShowe.
Caroline has a few tips under her sleeve as to how she managed to hit the 95-mark.
‘Don’t forget God in your life – pray in the morning and pray in the evening.
‘It’s also important to do exercise – you want to get the blood circulating in your body.
‘I’m very fond of walking to keep fit,’ she said.
She has many stories to tell, especially ones which saw her turn down numerous marriage proposals, including one from ‘an Italian guy, I can’t remember his name’.
Her life was dedicated to looking after her family and she never married nor had children.
Caroline currently lives with her niece, Priscilla Pottier in eShowe.
Priscilla says that her aunt is doing extremely well for her age.
‘She doesn’t take any medication!
‘She’ll only take Disprin because it can dissolve in water, otherwise, nothing else!’
The independent senior citizen refuses to use a walking stick.
She still wears her lipstick and dresses that end on the knee.
‘I don’t like pants, they’re too scratchy!’ she said.
What a BLESSING !! I certainly would have LOVED to have my Mom or Aunt still here at that age….!!! Enjoy her and SPOIL her to BITS…!!
