From her snowy, perfectly coiffed hair to her manicured red nails and classic pearl jewelry, Margie is every inch what used to be called a “real lady.” She’s gracious and friendly and always ready to smile. But this is also a lady with plenty of pizzazz.
I love life. And I love being with people! Every week I meet my friends to play bridge. And the movies—I love to go to the movies.
Ashby Village has been my new life. I go to all the activities that are offered to me—potlucks, picnics, Happy Hours. It’s wonderful.
What I find satisfying is helping other people feel good. This brings me great joy. I guess that’s why I’m living so long. I hope it makes me worthwhile. I’m grateful for that.
I have a few aches, but I never complain. And my wrinkles don’t bother me. I’m proud to be old!
I always think positively. Why, I don’t know. There’s so much I love to do, and life is too short. I’m 96! I love to party. I plan to party ’til I die!
