A woman who lives in New Tampa, Florida, is celebrating her 107th birthday. What a milestone! She says that the secret to her long life is drinking Coca-Cola every day. Yummy! She goes by the name of Frances Brassey and is allegedly the oldest living resident in Hillsborough County, according to staff at her assisted living facility.

Frances was born in Montana on October 4th, 1912, only 6 months after the sinking of the Titanic! Her assisted living facility is called Legacy at Highwoods Preserve. Legacy’s Lifestyle Director, Ashley Gunter, reveals that Frances has traveled the world and keeps knick-knacks from those places, including china, which she keeps in her room with her.
