Ada Cooley, who turns 100 years old next week on March 28, has lived a life of taking care of others, community service and working alongside family in a variety of businesses. She’s known sorrow but also enjoyed work, her yard and garden, and played more than a few games along the way. The centenarian will celebrate her birthday with a party hosted by family, with five generations gathering in Blanco.
