O’FALLON, Mo. (CNN Newsource) — If every day is a gift, then this “birthday girl” has more than 38,000 of them, because she’s celebrating her 105th year!
Meet Irene Fee of O’Fallon, Missouri.
She was born in 1918 and remembers going to church in a horse and buggy long before automobiles were commonplace.

Irene prefers to look forward, and she’s convinced that’s how she stays young.
She likes keeping up with the news and the stock market. She paints, does embroidery, and traces genealogy.
Her advice–don’t just sit around and don’t talk about age.
“I think you’ve got to keep your mind and your body active…you can’t sit around,” said Irene.
She says age is irrelevant.
