Irene Eskey, a Navajo grandmother also known as “Crystal Woman” turned 107 years old on April 7th.
She still cooks, herds sheep, and her daughter Liz says that she can chop wood – if she has to!
A large party was held in Irene’s honor at the Navajo Reservation, north of Winslow on April 7th... When asked how she lived so long and remain healthy for so long, she said “Hard work and living clean.”
