103 years old and still doing life her way. ๐
We absolutely love this story out of Wisconsin!
Helen Dyer recently celebrated her 103rd birthday surrounded by friends and neighbors. A Marine Corps and Peace Corps veteran, world traveler and longtime Monona resident, Helen has lived in the same apartment for roughly 50 years.
And we especially loved seeing a familiar name in her story. ๐ Carol Keller from Visiting Angels in Madison, WI, visits Helen twice a week, takes her grocery shopping and helps her continue doing the things she enjoys.
At 103, Helen still cooks, bakes, cares for her plants and participates in a monthly book club.
Her advice after 103 years?
โEnjoy life and do what you want to do.โ
We couldn't agree more. Happy 103rd Birthday, Helen! ๐๐
