Centenarians aren’t strangers to The Bronx (like this 100 year old runner)but this Bronx woman celebrating her 101st birthday with her 100-year-old husband sure is a pretty unique story.

News12 The Bronx reports that Theresa Pearson, who was born in Georgia along with her husband of 73 years, Doc, celebrated her big day at a Riverdale nursing home.

According to News12: “When asked what their secret was to staying together so long, Doc replied, “It’s not a secret, I think I would say it was more of luck than anything.  I am just lucky.”

Let’s wish Mrs Pearson a happy 100th birthday!
