TOMS RIVER – Marie T. Savignano has some thoughts for all of us who hope to live long lives.
Her advice? Don’t abuse your body and eat healthy foods. It seems to have worked for the Spring Oak resident in Toms River. She recently turned 101.
“I don’t make a pig out of myself, but I do like my ice cream,” she said with a smile.
She has few medical problems, considering her age. She was diagnosed with macular degeneration twenty years ago and has some kidney disease. She can’t see out of her right eye at all.
But that hasn’t kept her from one of her favorite pastimes. She loves to read, especially anything written by Danielle Steele. She even purchased a magnifying machine “as big as a T.V.” that allows her to read.
“I paid enough for it,” she said. “But I can read with the machine.”
She also makes sure she “walks a lot” every day.
Wow she looks absolutely fabulous! She could pass for 70!
Awww Marie!
101? She looks amazing!
