March 8 – If there is a topic of Carroll Lynir’s life, then she has little – if any – regret.
I am 100 today, and if it is given the option, you will not change anything.
“I don’t feel that age,” she said while eating the cake during an early birthday party on Evergreen Estates in Clarkston, where she lives. “I feel like I am a small teenager.”
She was born and raised in Los Angeles. After school, she became a nurse and started a profession to help care for people while working with individual doctors and hospitals, and the role of elderly care and in private practice.
It is a job you love.
She said, “I hope I can do it again.”
After she got married to her first husband, the city girl nursed and Los Angeles for the life of the farm and motherhood in Illinois. She had seven children, including two groups of twins and well -adapted to the country, even if it was a cultural shock.
“It was different,” she said. “I have never been about farm animals before and I feared me to death. But I will not change them for anything. If I can do it again, I will do that. It is completely different from the life of the city.”
Her children, of course, are all growing now and “scattered from here to high water.”

She got married twice throughout her life and ended up in the Lyston Clarkston Valley.
“I have to be cruel to my men. I lost the three of them,” she said.
Roger Lanner, his wife, Darlin Laner, and residents and employees at Evergreen Estates, helped her to celebrate. The gifts included several skains of yarn. Crosheter was thirsty for most of her life.
“I love crochet – often the Afghans – since I was about 14 years old.”
Fishing is another favorite hobby.
She said, “I am a hunter from the return.” “I don’t care if it is in the ocean or in the creek as long as I have a column in my hands, I am happy.”
So what is the secret of living a very good life, will you do it again? Laner is not sure but she said she followed a time tested strategy.
“I think I lived a good and clean life. I didn’t eat drugs, smoke, drink, or anything like that.
I just worked throughout my life. “
