Concord Place Memory Care in Knoxville, Tennessee recently honored resident Virgie Jean Gasaway on her 100th birthday with an induction into the Century Club of East Tennessee.
Married for more than 70 years, Mrs. Gasaway built a life defined by family, resilience, and a strong work ethic, raising a son with her husband while working as a bookkeeper at Sears and later in military administration.
A lifelong reader and devoted woman of faith, she is known for her kindness, curiosity, and love of simple pleasures like sewing, gardening, and cooking. She credits her longevity to staying engaged, maintaining good oral hygiene, and never giving up her love of reading.
