CHARLOTTE — Friday marked National Centenary Day, a day to honor people who have lived more than a century.
Olive Pasek is 101 and lives at Brookdale Charlotte East, which is a senior living facility in east Charlotte.
Pasek shared her first thoughts of moving to Charlotte and what she thinks helped her live past 100.
“Course I never smoked, drank very little, tried to take care of my health,” Pasek said. “When I first came to Charlotte, I was driving of course, and I was amazed at the traffic here.”
Pasek said she’s an avid walker and is the first in her family to live past 100.
