It was a fitting gesture for a lady who credits her faith for her long and happy life.
“Praise the Lord,” Elestine said when asked about the secret to living such a long life, according to WFMY News.
She added that love and her faith has kept her strong during her 107 years.
Elestine isn’t too far in age behind the official oldest woman in America, Thelma Sutcliffe, a 114-year-old woman from Nebraska.
