SHELBYVILLE, Ind. (AP) - April 12, 2007 -- Edna Parker is celebrating her birthday a little early -- her 114 birthday.
The central Indiana woman actually turns 114 a week from tomorrow, but she was honored yesterday at the nursing home where she lives. Parker is the oldest person in the U-S. She has five grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren and many great-great grandchildren. On her last birthday she was asked about the biggest difference between today and a century ago. She said back in the day people were more friendly and worked together.
