Gov. Spencer Cox visited with dozens of centenarians and their families during a celebration of the 145 Utahns aged 100 or older.
WEST JORDAN — Florence "Floss" Turnbow was born the same year that Time magazine printed its first issue, Coca-Cola began selling six-packs of cola and the Soviet Union was founded.
For Turnbow, who lived most of her life in Tabiona, Duchesne County, the secret to achieving a long life is pretty simple.And she has worked. By her own account she has sewn more than 6,000 Lone Star quilts, many of which were sold around the world through Mormon Handicraft. She said her quilts have ended up in the homes of more than a few celebrities, including Utah Jazz legend Karl Malone, actress Cicely Tyson and a leader of Iran.
Although not all could attend Thursday, Utah has 145 centenarians, as of June, including a few who will turn 100 in the near future. The oldest members of the club are 112-year-old Ted Wells, born in Orem in September 1910, and 111-year-old Alice Bennett, born in Salt Lake City in May 1911. That was in the early days of radar use, and the new technology helped spark a lifetime interest in invention that still keeps Hecker's mind busy today. He is currently working to come up with a way to fight forest fires using drones and halogen gas.
