Eva Morris

Managing Real Estate Broker with Fathom Realty PB00068179

Eva Morris was born in Newcastle, Staffordshire, England back in 1885. She worked as a domestic servant in Staffordshire before retirement. She was widowed in the 1930’s, I can’t find were she ever remarried. She had one child Winnie who died of cancer in 1975, she was 62.

What you may not know about Eva Morris Sharpe is that she was a supercentenarian. She died in her sleep on 2nd, November 2000 she was 114 years, 360 days young. What you may not know about Eva is that she attributed her longevity to a daily dose of boiled onions and whiskey along with an occasional cigarette. Now, where can I find the nearest liquor store in Maine?

Until tomorrow keep that smile on your face, a penny in your pocket and a snort of whiskey each night. Can’t say the same about a cigarette or boiled onions…

Not sure about the onions. However, it seem to work for her.

Good morning James,

The onion remedy for a cold forgot about that one.

Ask Andrew Mooers for the liquor store!

Make yourself an astonishing day.

Wow!  She almost made it to 115.  I don't think my retirement account is setup for me to live that long, haha.

James- all I can say is wow and pass the bottle!  My grandmother always said that a little alcohol every day was good for you.
