Ocie
Moore Celebrates 100th Birthday; Recounts A Century of
Memories
|
by
JoBeth Wampler
Staff Reporter
She celebrates the year of her birth
alongside a wide array of celebrities.
Mother Teresa and William Hanna, the American
animator who brought to the screen such classic
cartoons as Tom & Jerry, are among the few.
But, so is Bonnie Parker, one-half of the
infamous outlaw duo Bonnie and Clyde.
The year also marked the death of Florence
Nightingale and Mark Twain.
But,
for Ocie Moore, of Oakwood, 1910 is the year she
was brought into this world. On September 9, she
will celebrate her 100th birthday, achieving a
milestone few men and women are blessed enough
to see.
