Twin sisters from Michigan, Loris Pryor and Doris Ward, celebrated their 100th birthday together in good health.
Born in 1924, the sisters marked a century of life together on Wednesday, July 17.
“We are always together with everything. She ain’t go without me. I ain’t go without her. Always together,” Pryor said.
The twins celebrated over the weekend with a birthday party attended by their family and friends.
Between them, they have nine children and have witnessed several generations of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
“All I can say is that it’s a blessing to be here at 100 years old,” Ward said. “The good Lord blessed us to still see our family.”
Even after a full century, the twins still do everything together, including trips to the casino. However, their favorite memories are of dancing.
“We did a lot of dancing,” Ward said. “To live this long, I never thought it would happen or not happen. I never thought about it,” Pryor said.
The sisters say that living as long as they have is a gift.
“Life is very precious, or I wouldn’t be here. It’s just precious to live this long,” Pryor said.
