Survived two world wars: an 110-year-old woman revealed the truth that changes life
Despite the respectable age, Marge remains a cheerful, energetic and creative personality. Among its numerous talents are drawing, knitting, crocheting and writing poems. In addition, she loves music and willingly shares memories of the past. "We have long -lived sides in the family, so I have good genes - not everyone lives for so long," the British laughs.
Margori, who has devoted almost all her life to the teaching profession, upbringing and teaching children, has seen many changes that have taken place in the world. Recalling her childhood in the 1910s, the woman told about safer and friendly times when children could play carelessly on the streets. "Everything has changed a lot. Once I went to school, my mom was home on the farm and cooking dinner. In those days it was safer to play on the street because there were no cars.
In addition, people had to pay to have a dog, so street dogs didn't run around. We just went out to the yard, met people, then became friends, some of them - friends for life, " - shags Khodnett. Among the first vivid memories of the long -lived are air blooms during the First World War, as well as participation in the choir at the 1948 Olympic Ceremony in London. In 1939, Marge met her first husband Stanley, who, unfortunately, died in 1955.
Subsequently, she married for the second time and moved to Sidbury in Devon. On her 110th birthday, a woman received the desired gift-a modern atlas, as well as a real orchid. To the question of the secret of longevity, she answers: "To do all the good you can, in all available means, in all places where you can, with all the people you can, as long as you can. " In her opinion, even in difficult times, you need to make every effort to remain a good person.
"Maybe your life will not always happen happily, horrible things can happen to you, but you will know that you have done everything you can with what you were given. That's all," said Khodnett. Earlier, Focus wrote about 114-year-old Elizabeth Francis from Houston, who shared the secret of a long and happy life. The woman was born on July 25, 1909, 11 years before the granting of suffrage, and survived two world wars, an epidemic of Spanish influenza in 1918 and the Covid-19 pandemic.
