Born in 1925, 14 years before World War II began, Seal has danced her way through a century of life. Her granddaughter, Chelsey Nobles, said dancing and singing are central to Seal’s daily routine.
“She loves dancing, you will catch her just singing random songs, God Bless America,” Nobles said. “She’s little, but she’s full of energy and she’s just always got a smile on her face.”
Nobles, one of Seal’s many granddaughters, said Seal serves as the glue that holds their big Italian family together.

Seal’s son, Charlie, and mother-in-law, Debra Seal, said her faith in God has also contributed to her long life.
“She was all about leading us to Christ and making sure that we were in church,” Charlie Seal said.
Debra Seal said Agnes has been a family leader and mentor.
“She leads her family, and she had shown me and taught me how to lead my family,” Debra Seal said. “I love her just like she’s my mom.”
At 100 years old, Agnes can show us all that longevity is measured not just in years, but in laughter, faith, and sweet tooth cravings
