A woman recently turned 105 years young. The Alabama resident went for a routine check with her doctor when staff and family arranged a delightful birthday surprise. Her positive energy is infectious!
Audrey Ainsley has lived an extraordinary life and has no plans of slowing down even as she turns another year older. The woman enjoyed her time at Gulfside Medical Care in Foley and always had a smile on her face.
Whenever people asked for her secret to longevity, Ainsley had a simple answer—it was also the reason she could still laugh with abundant joy and vigor at her birthday bash.
She Kept Herself Busy and Active
The longtime citizen of Baldwin County has what seems like unlimited energy and vibrance. She might be over 100, but she certainly doesn’t show it. Staying as active as possible, Ainsley’s family isn’t surprised that she is fit as a fiddle.
Her daughter, Marlian Ahearn, revealed that Ainsley always took care of herself, exercising and keeping busy. She added: “They’ve always had a lot of different interests, she and my dad before he passed, and you know it’s just fantastic.”
Ainsley enjoyed spending time with her beloved grandkids and also had the privilege of getting to know her great-grandkids. She got together with them and made memories as often as possible.
Netizens were in awe of Ainsley and her youthfulness. Many users wished her well, and online community members offered her various compliments.
The Big Surprise
In October 2022, Ainsley thought she was on her way to see her health practitioner of 19 years, Dr. Kenneth McLeod, but it was all just a guise. Instead of a routine appointment, she was caught off-guard by the kindness of the staff taking care of her.
The lucky lady entered a room decorated with balloons, banners, and other festive birthday decorations. A table was packed with cake and delicious snacks, all for their beloved resident.
Ainsley read the balloon sign that said “105” and knew the bash was for her. She couldn’t keep the smile off her face. The surprise party meant the world to her, and she was thrilled to be the guest of honor.
Everyone Was Good to Her
Ahearn’s presence made the day even more special, and the daughter looked on happily as she saw her mother float around the room, exuding joy and excitement. Ainsley was adorned with a birthday tiara and couldn’t help but say a big happy birthday to herself.
She admitted that the party was a big surprise and revealed that she was proud of her age, adding: “Here I am, no disease, healthy.” Ahearn shared that her mom was in awe of the celebration. She also said:
“She always tells me ‘just wait until you get to be my age and see how you feel.’ It’s wonderful that she can be this age, and everybody’s been so very good to her. Just like this little party, she’s really amazed.”
