103 Birthday Cards Sought For Georgia Woman's 103rd Birthday

EATONTON, GA — A Georgia woman turning 103 on Saturday could get a birthday card for every year she has been alive. That's the goal set by her granddaughter, who made a plea on Facebook this week.

"My beautiful Big Mama will be celebrating her 103rd birthday on Dec. 5, 2020," Lisa Mcelhannon said of her grandmother, Sarah Watkins of Eatonton.

"It would make her day to be flooded with well wishes! Thank you all in advance, let’s see if she can receive at least 103 cards, one for each year."

Mcelhannon told 13-WMAX close family members will have a small gathering to celebrate, and her grandmother will open the cards on her own time.

She is urging people to send the well wishes in the mail to: Sarah Watkins; 175 Dennis Station Road; Eatonton, GA 31024

Watkins is a former seamstress who specialized in making prom dresses in her career, according to the news station. She didn't have anything specific to credit for her long life.

"I just keep on living," Watkins told 13-WMAX.
