Mrs. Alline Hopkins

Mrs. J. Elim (Alline Hopkins) Lunceford celebrated her 101st birthday with her fellow residents at Harper's Personal Care Home and later in the afternoon with her daughter, Rose Lunceford Bennett; granddaugher, Amy Bennett Long; and great-grandson, Bobby.

Mrs. Lunceford was born on June 20, 1906, and enjoys good health and has many happy memories of growing up more than one hundred years ago.

When asked by her granddaughter how old she was, Mrs. Lunceford replied jokingly, "I'm just 21, but don't tell anyone, though!"

Mrs. Lunceford is the mother of three children, six grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.

Mrs. Lunceford received 18 beautiful long-stemmed yellow roses from her cousins, Philip Huff and his wife, MaeDell, of Athens in honor of her 101st birthday.
