In Lula Mae’s 107 years of life, she has accomplished so much. She raised 5 children: 2 boys, one of whom has sadly passed, and 3 daughters. Lula Mae has 14 grandchildren, many great-grandchildren, and many great-great-grandchildren. Many were at her birthday celebration.
Lula Mae was born on June 15, 1917, in Monticello, Florida. She lived there until she moved to Ocklawaha in 1945. Lula Mae was a farm worker until she retired.
I asked Lula Mae what her secret to a long, healthy life was, and she said, “working hard.” Lula Mae still gets around on her own and even babysits family members. At 107, Lula Mae Keaton is still going strong. She is proud of her family, her work, and her legacy. We all salute you, Lula Mae, for making 107 years look so good. Happy Birthday, Lula Mae!
