ADA — Audress W. Bell, 102, likes coconut cake and prefers reading instead of watching television.

Although her birthday cake this year was not coconut, she enjoyed celebrating her 102nd birthday with a party Wednesday at Ada Retirement and Care Center.

In honor of the occasion, staff members from Aspire Home Care provided birthday cake and ice cream for Bell and residents at the center.
