Cypress Cove staff, Mamie's friends and family threw her a big birthday party filled with cake, snacks, and of course, all of Mamie's favorite people.
A special guest, a Cousin Minnie Pearl impersonator, showed up and got the party going and laughing.
Mamie has a very active social life at Cypress Cove and loves to socialize and participate in events and activities such as bingo, sewing, reading her Bible, and bidding in our auctions.
News 19 attended the birthday party, and we asked Miss Mamie what her secret is to make it to 105.
'I eat good, and these people take good care of me,' Mamie said.
Mamie also wants to mention that it was a great birthday spent with her family, friends and her best friend named Chris, who is also a resident at Cypress Cove.
