RALEIGH, N.C. -- Gladys Branche was born on August 20th, 1918. She was a hairdresser until she retired.
She loves kids -- especially her two grandkids and three great-grandkids. She's a lifelong member of Mount Peace Baptist Church.
Tuesday, her church threw her a birthday lunch at her nursing home in Raleigh. She said the excitement from the party made her want to dance.
"Oh, I feel like I can get up and dance a little bit."
Branche tells ABC11 that the secret to longevity is to "listen to everyone."
