Three Sisters Reunite in Bristol with a Combined Age of 315
Three sisters, aged 101, 104 and 110, gathered recently for a reunion after not seeing each other for more than 10 years.
Three centenarians sisters — including 110-year-old Rubeye Cox of Bristol — have gathered here in Bristol after more than a decade of not seeing each other in a reunion made possible by a charity that grants enriching wishes for seniors.
Ruth Branum, 104, from Tulsa, Okla., and the baby of the family, 101-year-old Rose Shloss, from Sarasota, Fla., traveled hundreds of miles to see each other in a reunion at Silver Creek Manor, where Cox lives.
Ruth made the wish, which was granted by the A Wish of a Lifetime foundation, which makes dreams come true for seniors.
Branum said she felt like cinderella as she got a chance to be with her sisters again, ABC6 reported.
