110-Year-Old Super Centenarian's Words of Wisdom

When Growing Bolder met Onie Ponder, she was 110 years old and had voted in every Presidential election since 1920. She was the oldest person in Florida and 86th oldest in the world.

It’s a simple thing.” Onie Ponder passed away on December 31, 2010 at the age of 112. She was the world’s 21st oldest living person at the time.
