– It’s not every day someone turns 106 years old!
Mrs. Eloise West, a beloved member of the Jacksonville community, marked an extraordinary milestone on Thursday. West was born on Aug. 10, 1917, and has witnessed over a century of history. She grew up in Jacksonville, then she moved to Connecticut, before moving back to Jacksonville in 2000. Despite the physical distance between them, Mrs. West’s cousin, Laveta Barrett, 72, who lives in Orlando, called us to make sure her cousin was being celebrated around the city!
Laveta’s message for her cousin is, “Happy birthday, Mike. I love you. And yes, you are crazy.” Mike is her nickname for Eloise, dating back years and stemming from her maiden name.Mrs. Eloise lost her husband, Marcellous West, in 2006. Her only daughter, Dorothy L. Wilson, passed away in 2009. She was a retired teacher and church musician.We hope Mrs. Eloise has a day full of joy, laughter, and heartfelt wishes.
