Advice From 100-Year-Old: 'Have A Little More Patience And Faith'

BRANDON, FL -- At 100 years old, she's practically the baby of the bunch.

Bloomingdale resident Agnes Miklus turns 100 on Wednesday. While it’s a rare feat to hit the century mark, she’ll be far from the oldest person at her birthday party.

Miklus will celebrate her centennial birthday at the Bloomingdale Adult Day Center. Among those helping eat the birthday cake will be John Miller, who will turn 103 in August, and Iva Bell, who will celebrate her 108th birthday in September. All regularly attend the Bloomingdale Adult Day Center, operated by Hillsborough County Aging Services.

The county’s four Adult Day Centers offer comprehensive health, social, supportive and therapeutic services for seniors, allowing them to live at home as long as possible.

Well-wishers are invited to stop by the center at 3940 Canoga Park Drive, Brandon Wednesday at 1 p.m. to wish Miklus a happy birthday.
