Albany woman celebrates significant milestone 101st birthday

ALBANY, Ga. – A resident of Dougherty county marked a significant birthday milestone this past weekend, with just as large a family on hand to celebrate.

Beatrice Malone Smith celebrated her 101st birthday with her family gathering in Albany, where Beatrice has lived her entire life.

Her extensive family consists of 12 children, 39 grandchildren, 94 great-grandchildren, and 30 great-great-grandchildren.

We visited the party on Saturday to chat with Beatrice about reaching this remarkable milestone, surrounded by her massive family.

“I think I enjoy seeing them all, and I love them all. Cause they’re a part of me, and no I don’t care how it goes, they’re still a part of me. And that’s the way the Lord would have it to be,”  said Beatrice Smith, 101-year-old.

We here at CBS 44 want to wish Beatrice a happy belated birthday.
