“She is a fighter, for sure,” said her granddaughter, Kimberly English.
The family celebrated Jacques with a surprise drive-by parade last Saturday, part of a plan to give her the best birthday celebration she’s ever had, said English, who organized the parade. Jacques turned 99 on Monday, Feb. 15.
Up until a few months ago, said English, it felt like her grandmother might live to 200, and though the family has seen a slight decline over the past few months, she remains amazingly resilient.
Jacques has been a Cumberland resident in the same home in Monastery Heights for more than 70 years, where she raised her five children.
