The woman lived a difficult life.< /p>
A US resident from Iowa, who will celebrate her 107th birthday on February 12, gave advice to young people.
Southeast Iowa Union reports.
Ida Strunk born in Williamsburg in 1916. In addition to her, her parents had 10 more children. The family was not very rich, so for many years Strunk had only two dresses: one for school, and the second for home.
Since childhood, she worked a lot on the farm, then got a job at the factory of the food company Quaker Oats, and later she was engaged in sending out seeds and seedlings.
The woman got married, but no children were born in the marriage. After the death of her husband in 1990, Strunk did a lot of sewing and gardening.
A 106-year-old woman admitted that she did not know the reasons for her longevity, but she gave advice to youth. “Always do something!” she said shortly.
It was previously known that a native of the United States, Maria Branjas Morera, became the oldest person in the world according to the Guinness Book of Records.
