Local woman turns 105 years old

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – She’s from Chalybeate, Kentucky and moved to Bowling Green almost 80 years ago, a home she almost always has been.

News 40 spent some time at Lois Willis’s birthday party today as she celebrates turning 105 years old with some family and friends. Her sons Dannie and Michael Willis spoke to the station as well for this great occasion.

Lois recalled some memories of her growing up, and it seemed pretty eventful. She rode on milk trucks, her family had the first car in the neighborhood, first telephone and the first radio.

Her sons applauded her for their upbringing – they told the station that their parents were great influences on their life, and they’re more than grateful to have their mother still with them.
