Bio

Velma Finger, known to her friends as Sally, worked as a manager at her housing complex until she was 100 years old. She hasn't slowed down since and recently celebrated her 107th birthday with family and friends. On the day she was born in 1915, Finger said her dad hopped on a horse to get the doctor to deliver her. She's seen a lot of changes in the century-plus she's been alive, including the widespread use of automobiles, electricity and computers. Finger said she doesn't have any real secret to longevity, but she did say she ate a lot of vegetables with olive oil and peanuts, and she gave up meat for several years. She said she keeps her mind sharp by doing crossword puzzles and reading. She also credits exercise and her love of the game of golf, walking the course in the fresh open air, for her incredibly long life. Cape Girardeau, MO, (KFVS/Gray News), Aug. 5, 2022
