100-Year-Old Woman Continues to Support Troops

"It's been the greatest pleasure of my life," said 100-year-old Lilly Nutter. 

When Lilly Nutter's grandson went to fight in Iraq she wanted to do something special, so she sent the troops care packages filled with snacks and other items that  reminded them of home. 

"About two days ago I sent the 1,181^st box," said Nutter.

With over 1,000 care packages  sent, Nutter says the heartfelt thank you notes she gets from soldiers is why she continues sending packages overseas.    

"My thank you for all of this is the six to seven-hundred thank you letters on the table from the troops," said Nutter. 

"Her attitude keeps her alive.  She's too busy to die," said Betty Campbell, Nutter's daughter.   

Campbell  says her moms will and sense of adventure is what has kept her going all these years.  

"She just doesn't believe in limitations.  She doesn't see any reason that age should slow you down," said Campbell. 

"When I see all the sick people here suffering and in pain and I don't have an ache or a pain at 100, my vision has diminished but how blessed am I?  I know it's the gift of god," said Nutter.

President Obama and several local politicians took the time wish Nutter a happy birthday and thank her for all that she's done.   

"This isn't new for her, she's always been a do-gooder it's just her last incantation," said Campbell. 

"I feel that I've come home," said Nutter.
