On Jan. 4, 1921 Mary and Arthur Harnest welcomed a baby girl to their family in Denison. She would eventually have four siblings.
This week, that baby girl, Irene Ferguson , turned 100 years old. At the Meadowbrook Care Center in Van Alstyne, she is known for smoking eight times a day, keeping everyone s plants alive and rising before the sun.
As for what has kept her going all of these years, Ferguson said, God s will.
Monday, she celebrated at the care facility with presents and flowers from family and friends. She also took a little time to talk about her life and share some of the wisdom gained over 100 years.
