Two Centenarians Living History | Jacksonville News

Two extraordinary women in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia just shattered longevity records—Willie Mae Jackson, 110, and Sallie Chatman, 107—both born in the early 1900s during America’s segregated past. Their lives span horse-drawn carriages to smartphones, and they’re thriving with health, humor, and deep-rooted habits: faith, clean living, and a love of tea or sweets. Willie Mae credits her mind and devotion, while Sallie’s family laughs as she zips around on feather-free bells. Together, they’re living proof that resilience, joy, and family can turn a century into a celebration.
