Rosa Camfield’s vibrant and eventful life was replete with cherished memories shaped by her experiences from different eras. And when she was 101 years old, she faced the most emotional event of them all: holding her great-granddaughter for the first time.

Despite experiencing tumultuous and historical events throughout her life, Rosa Camfield remained steadfast in her appreciation of life’s simple pleasures. Her photo holding her 2-week-old great-grandchild, Kaylee, went viral, showcasing their staggering 101-year age gap. Camfield cherished the moment as Kaylee slept peacefully in her arms, relishing the joy of connecting with her family.

Unfortunately, after the photo holding her great-grandchild Kaylee was taken, Camfield passed away. She left behind a bittersweet memory as her time with the latest addition to the family was brief.

The touching photo, symbolizing the intersection of endings and new beginnings, touched the online community, prompting many to offer condolences and well wishes to the family.

Amazing. Think about how the world has changed in the last 100 years and compare it to how much it WILL change in the next 100 years! God bless our elders... they have taught us so much. Much respect.

It could be unimaginable to live more than 100 years. But this happens more often than we think. Jeanne Calment, for example, lived for 122 years and even met Van Gogh. These ladies lived a life worthy of a movie.
