I just came across this article and thought I'd share because she is so fortunate to have made it to 108! Wow! She was married twice but has no desire to take care of a man and wants to be independent. She also eats healthy food, travels, and reads. I hope to be this way if I make to that age! 

*Browne was married twice and had no desire to remarry after her second husband passed away.*

*“That’s right. I am not taking care of another man,” she says.*

*“I decided when I was left alone that I didn’t need anybody to take care of me, I take care of myself. So, in order to live a healthy life, you have to make up your own mind.”*

*Driving her car and living in her own home are important aspects of her self-reliance. “She very, very much wants to maintain her independence as long as she can,” Overby notes.Alaska and Hawaii became U.S. states while Browne was a teacher, so she visited both, even going to Alaska twice.*

*She’s also traveled to Spain, Portugal, Brazil and other countries around the world.*

*“I enjoyed my trips,” she says. Her favorite place? “Hawaii. It’s beautiful there,” she notes.*
