A Los Angeles woman named Gertrude Hawkins celebrated her 106th birthday with a sense of humor and some advice for those hoping to live a long life: don’t let nothing bother you.

Hawkins was born March 28, 1917 and is the daughter of farmers from Mississippi and Arkansas. She is known as “Aunt Trim” to her loved ones in the Los Angeles area and doesn’t hesitate to speak her mind.

“I don’t let nothing bother me because worry gets you nothing but gray hair, and I don’t want that,” Hawkins said.

Lou Davis, who has known Hawkins for 82 years, says he loves her charisma and kindness. (source)
