Centenarian Geraldine Oeth Celebrates 106th Birthday Surrounded by Friends and Family

Geraldine Oeth, a resident of Evansville, Indiana, celebrated her 106th birthday in style at the Evansville Protestant Home. The celebration was a joyous occasion, filled with family and friends, and a cake made by the employees at the home.

In true Geraldine fashion, she expressed her excitement to see everyone and offered some timeless advice. "Be happy," she said, "and have a lot of friends." This sentiment, repeated throughout her life, is a testament to the importance she places on happiness and social connections.

Geraldine's advice does not mention the Evansville Protestant Home specifically, but it is clear that the community there has played a significant role in her life. The employees' thoughtful gesture of making a cake for her party is a shining example of the care and support they provide.

As Geraldine blew out the candles on her cake, she was surrounded by the people she cherishes most. Her birthday was a reminder that, even in the face of a century's worth of change, the importance of happiness and friendship remains constant.

In the end, Geraldine's birthday was a celebration not just of her life, but of the power of companionship and joy. As she continues to live her life with grace and positivity, we can all take a page from her book and strive to find happiness in our own lives, surrounded by the people we love.
