A Donegal woman celebrated her 106th birthday yesterday, attributing her longevity to a good, healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n

N\u00e1bla Diver, from Cill Chartaigh, now resides in Killybegs Community Hospital where cake and well-wishes were the order of the day.<\/p>\n

Ms Diver, was born on 11 September 1919 in An Seanach, Cill Chartaigh.<\/p>\n

She was the youngest of six children, and a skilled knitter who worked for various agents in the area throughout her life.<\/p>\n

Speaking to RT\u00c9 News, her grand niece, Yvonne Ferry, said the family were proud and delighted of Ms Diver for reaching this milestone.<\/p>\n

“N\u00e1bla is such a lovely lady, we’re all so proud of her,” said Ms Ferry.<\/p>\n

“She is so good to us all and really enjoyed celebrating her birthday with us all, including the residents, staff and family members.”<\/p>\n

“N\u00e1bla, is also a woman of strong faith,” she added.<\/p>\n

Ms Diver said she never worried about anything, never smoked nor drank, ate healthy food and never got married.<\/p>\n

She lived independently until only 11 years ago, when she moved into sheltered housing in An Charraig.<\/p>\n

Ms Diver has been residing at Killybegs Community Hospital since April of this year.<\/p>\n

She will now be presented with a sixth Presidential Coin, a special commemoration for those who reach the age of 100 and older.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Donegal woman celebrated her 106th birthday yesterday, attributing her longevity to a good, healthy lifestyle.
