Pound’s Nannie Beverly celebrated her 100th birthday Feb. 13 at home with surviving daughters Lorene, Loretta and Helen and son-in-law Kenny. Born in 1923 to Patton and Emma Collins, Beverly raised 10 children, seven of whom have passed away. Family members used social media to request 100 birthday cards for Beverly, who received 96 cards from all over the nation. Also, throughout her birthday week she received visits from family, friends and a special surprise visit from the county’s sheriff’s department. SUBMITTED PHOTO
