Local woman turns 100

Posted: Updated:

By Clay LePard

It was a celebration for one Iowa woman who turned 100-years-old today.

"I don't even think about it," says Orva Carey.

Carey spent most of her life in Ames, Iowa, but today in Silvis at Aspen Rehab and Health Care Center, it was all about the big one hundred.

The secret to Orva's success: she says it's the family genes. Her brother, Bob, lived to be 99-years-old and her sister, Helen, hit the milestone 100 as well.
