One of the three women, Dorothy Jordan, turned 108 March 2 and is the oldest resident in Logan County, as featured in several Examiner articles in recent years. Fellow honorees and Logan Acres residents Wanda Rotroff turned 103 Jan. 17, and Bertha Kaufman’s 100th birthday was Dec. 10.
Keeping a steadfast faith, and staying active and busy with activities are some of the centenarians’ advice for living a long life.
“I don’t hold still,” Mrs. Rotroff said with a smile, noting that she has 154 grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren to keep up with. “I’ve always stayed busy throughout my life. Other than that, I don’t have anything out of the ordinary that I do. I just feel very blessed.”
