Florida woman celebrates her 107th birthday and shares the secret to her long life

A Florida woman recently shared her secret to longevity. The centenarian’s advice was inspiring and her positive attitude was contagious. His story will make you smile!

Grace LePane turned 107 on December 8, 2022. Wearing gold hoop earrings and pretty necklaces, she happily shared some of her life with the world.

Things weren’t always as sunny as they are today. LePane faced the Great Depression and even greater loss when his seven-year-old son died. Shortly after, her husband passed away, so how could this woman carry on for so many years? His answer was quite simple.

LePane was much loved by her family and they loved spending time with her. The older woman responded comically when asked about her favorite hobbies. She laughs and says:

“What do I like to do? Right now, I don’t like doing anything.”

However, her relatives disagreed, noting that she was very active. LePane helped loved ones cook, went shopping and enjoyed having fun with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. “As long as my family is with me, I’m happy. That’s the most important thing,” LePane added.

Before moving to Oviedo 41 years ago, LePane spent 66 years in New York. His family always vacationed in Oviedo, so it made sense to move there.

For her birthday party, parents from as far away as North Carolina, Missouri, Tennessee, Illinois and New York flew in to honor her legacy and create treasured memories together.

LePane was no doubt loving his life and looking forward to having a big celebration with his loved ones, expressing, “Glad to have my whole family here.”

The question on many people’s minds after meeting LePane was always the same. Everyone wanted to know their secret to living such a long and happy life.

LePane may not have found the fountain of youth, but her humor probably keeps her young. One of his grandchildren painted his nails to prepare for his birthday.

However, as a former manicurist, the centenarian had high standards. After a loved one complimented her beautiful nails, she humorously responded, saying, “They’re awful,” before laughing.

The question on many people’s minds after meeting LePane was always the same. Everyone wanted to know their secret to living such a long and happy life. She replied:

“Just to stay happy. It is the most important.”

The words weren’t groundbreaking, but they were encouraging because they came from someone who had been around for over ten decades. In LePane’s words, we should practice gratitude, kindness, and joy more often!

LePane has a great outlook on life and she will always be content with the support of her family by her side. We wish him a happy birthday and many more years with his precious loved ones.
