Betty's 100th birthday

Madison Erhardt

Kelowna's Betty McKenzie has made it to triple digits.

McKenzie turned 100 on Monday. When asked what her secret is to living such a long and happy life, she said: "I keep well, and I'm healthy. I've got friends here, and the people that serve me are friends. I have got a good family and they have helped me along the way."

McKenzie has been blessed with nine grandchildren. 

"She has been very, very active. I think that has helped her a lot as she has gotten older. She has good friends, a lot of faith, and good genes," Valerie McKenzie, her daughter-in-law said.

Betty will be partying all week.

"We plan on celebrating by going out to dinner, and then on Saturday a number of her relatives will be getting together to do some more partying," said Valerie. 

"She has told all her kids to simply live an honest life, a motto she holds near and dear to her heart," she added.
