OCEAN PINES – Ocean Pines resident Vivian Mumford celebrated a huge milestone on Friday, when she turned 101.
Mumford was born on Aug. 4, 1922, on a farm in a town called “Friendship” that today is known as Pittsville.
She said the farm grew various crops and had one cow and a few chickens. She remembers picking strawberries.
“I loved it because I didn’t have to work on it!” she said.
Mumford went to high school in her hometown, where she was an honor student and was crowned May queen her senior year. She earned a partial scholarship to attend college, but said the family at the time couldn’t afford the rest of tuition.
She sounds like a remarkable woman who lives her life to the fullest. Very nice to read a story like this Joe. Thanks for sharing.
And no sex!
If no smoke and no drinkie did extend life, then cigs/booze and now POT wouldnt exist.
They are revenue generators which eventually shorten life. They also cause HUGE medical bills ($$$ for medical folk and insurance companies) was well as mortuary personnel.
Aka, economic engine….aka capitalism…aka GREED.
Congrats to the.local. most of us wont make it even near that age…and.thats ok…and its our CHOICE.
