Centenarian women in Texas inspire with humor, long life

The four women will make you laugh and think.

What they're saying:

"We've got four ladies that are over the age of 100," said Casey Domenech, Executive Director of Paradise Springs. "We want to show them off they are the spotlight of this community."

Like 107-year-old Cretora Biggerstaff. 

"I keep up with everything," she said. "I don't have to agree with everything, but I know what's going on in the world. That's important." 

The celebration had a 1920's theme.

"Cretora was born in 1919, that's as close as we can get," said Casey.

We asked Virgina Ferguson what she did to live to be 103.

"Nothin'," she said. "Never dieted, counted calories, never took pills, ate everything I wanted."

Staying busy and keeping your mind occupied is the secret to a long life, according to Cretora.

"They should hire me for one of those talk shows," she said. "I can talk on any subject."

"To see these women that are a hundred plus, and they're thriving, it melts my heart," Casey said. "It's my purpose, it's why I'm here for them."
