PORTSMOUTH, Va. - She may be 101 years old, but Mary Parker has no plans of slowing down. I got my wheelchair. I do my own cooking, my own washing and taking care of my tabby cat, she told News 3.
Parker has an upbeat and go-getter personality despite facing some pretty big life challenges. When she was in her 90s she said she suffered a leg injury. Overtime she lost circulation in her both of her legs and ultimately needed to have them amputated.
Misfortune once again knocked on her door a few weeks back when her water heater broke.
