104-year-old woman celebrates birthday with a book drive to collect 104 children's books.
As Betty X. Davis was preparing to mark her 104th birthday Monday, her family and caregivers asked what she wanted to celebrate her monumental birthday.
Davis's caregivers at Sodalis Buda Assisted Living & Memory Care threw a birthday party for her on Monday. There at the celebration were four of Davis' eight children, other friends and family members and some of the more than 120 children's books that have already been donated. Palmer said a love of reading and a passion for giving back was something Davis instilled in her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Palmer said she remembers her mom always reading and writing, everything from letters and speeches to books and poems, which she can still recite by memory.
