CELEBRATING 111

By

Officially the second oldest living Oklahoman by less than two months, Christine Phillips still remembers the Spanish Flu, which devastated Kingfisher County when she was 9 years old. This year, Mrs. Phillips and her fellow residents of Countrywood Assisted Living Center and other nursing homes are living under extreme restrictions to keep them safe from yet another pandemic. But that won’t stop the celebration. Her family and Countrywood staff have organized a birthday parade of well-wishers caravaning through the facility’s parking lot on Wednesday, Oct. 7. Anyone interested in participating in the birthday parade is asked to meet at the First Baptist Church parking lot on South 13th Street at 10:15 a.m. Wednesday, Countrywood Administrator Kaci Farrar said.
