Last Tuesday was a day of celebration at Indianola Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center in Indianola.
Family, friends and staff gathered to celebrate the 103rd birthday of resident Clemmie Truevillian.
The retired educator was serenaded with a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday, along with Gospel songs and poetry.
A Seventh Day Adventist, Truevillian has been active in her church for years, serving as an elder.
A cousin of Blues icon B.B. King, Truevillian always loved being around children, and that is what drove her to become a teacher, according to a 2023 E-T article when she celebrated her 101st birthday.
