Whickcar Celebrates 90th Birthday

Posted

Romie Neighbors Snead Whickcar celebrated her 90th birthday recently at Christian Care Nursing Home in McKenzie.

She is the mother of five children, grandmother of nine grandchildren, great-grandmother of 14, and great-great grandmother of four.  She grew up in Gleason and raised her family on a farm between Henry and McKenzie. On that farm they raised chickens, pigs, milked cows, cropped cotton and corn, hay, dogs cats and kids. They also had a garden every year from which she canned, dried, and stored food for the winter.  

She remembers riding in a horse-drawn wagon to the Snead Grove Picnic when she was a teenager.

She took one vacation in her life in 1970 which was ended abruptly because of a family emergency at home.
