OLDEST BLOGGER IN THE WORLD DIES AT AGE 108…(not a typo)

—————————blog-lady——————-

(CNN) –
A New South Wales. Australian woman often described as the world’s oldest blogger has died at the age of 108 after posting a final message…she wrote that despite her ailing health, she sang “a happy song every day.”

On the blog site, The Life of Riley, and in a series of videos posted on YouTube, Riley mused on her day-to-day life. She also recounted living through two world wars and raising three children on her own while working as a cook and a bar maid.

“She had a wonderful memory, and an amazing zest for life,” said her friend Eric Shackle, who met Riley at a nursing home while visiting his wife, who has since passed. “Just two weeks ago, she recalled the words of a song that was popular before World War II, and sang the chorus with me.”
