100 and Fabulous!

Ferne Ullstead told her children years ago that she had no interest in living to be 100. Despite that statement, on April 30th, family and friends celebrated Ferne’s 100th birthday in style. With her 94-year-old sister Linde by her side, Ferne greeted family and friends at the Marysville Historical Society in Washington state wearing a sash proclaiming “100 and Fabulous!” By all accounts the sash was right. Ferne had a fabulous life filled with love, family, community, and health and longevity.
