This 100-Year-Old Woman Got To See The Ocean For The First Time And Was Left Speechless

Ruby Holt has spent most of her life working on a farm in Tennessee. In fact, the 100-year-old (soon to be 101!) hasn’t ever traveled more than 400 miles outside of her rural hometown in Giles County, nor feasted her eyes on the ocean.

That changed recently, thanks to the kind of efforts of her assisted living center and Wish of a Lifetime, an organization that grants wishes for the elderly. While Holt was quick to comment on how cold the November waters were, the centenarian was mostly awestruck and speechless at the mere sight of the Alabama coast.
