Imagine being told that your child who had been plagued with illness since she was born, won't live to be very old. That was the prediction of Hazel Senft's doctor more than a century ago.

Still as sharp as a tack, Helen has proven that doctor wrong a long time ago.

Hazel celebrates her 103rd birthday today with family from Madison, Georgia and friends at Windsor Manor. Hazel has been at Windsor Manor since 2010.

If you'd like to send Hazel a card, feel free to address it to: Hazel Senft, Windsor Manor Assisted Living, 1807 W. 5th St. Vinton, Iowa 52349.

From Vinton Today, "Happy Birthday Hazel!"
