D.W. Williams, 103, and Willie Williams, 100, enjoyed a well-deserved party at a north Charlotte church where they celebrated their wedding anniversary and birthdays by singing hymns with their friends and family.
“To see them at this age and still doing well, it’s just a blessing to have them here,” granddaughter BJ Williams-Greene said, according to Boston 25 News.
The couple aren’t far behind making it into the record books for the oldest living spouses by aggregate age. A record currently held by 100-year-old Miyako and her husband, Masao Matsumoto, 108, from Japan.
The Japanese couple credit their successful marriage to her patience.
However D.W. and Willie said they have no secret to their success, “just be nice to each other,” Willie Williams said.
They said they have lived through wars, the Depression and the civil rights era, Boston 25 News reported.
That is the kind of news I like to hear. Congratulations to the couple and God bless 🙂
What an achievement for this sweet couple – clearly kindness is the key to a long and happy life.
Please share this positive story with your friends and family!
