Virginia Estelle Bell turns 112

The GRG are delighted to share news that Virginia Estelle Bell, known as Estelle, is celebrating her 112th (claimed 111th) birthday today.
Estelle was born January 29 1913 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, USA, to Sallie Phillips. On November 29 1934, aged 21, Estelle married Henry Wilbur Bell in the same county as her birth. They went on to have four children together.
Estelle lived independently until she was 100, when she moved into a care facility, after living in the same home since 1949. She is described as being “spunky and wonderful” today and is the oldest known registered voter in Mecklenburg County. Estelle attributes her longevity to living by ‘The Golden Rule’ – treat others as you wish to be treated.
The GRG sends warm congratulations on a long life to Mrs Bell and many more to come.
‘Queen of the Kitchen’ turns 111 years old. Happy Birthday, Estelle!
