MILDRED DILL TAKES FIRST SELFIE AT 101

On September 10, 2014, Mrs. Mildred Dill celebrated her 101st birthday and then made history with taking her first ever selfie! When Kristy Earick, Administrator at Versailles Health Care Center, asked Dill if she wanted to take a “selfie” with her, Dill agreed but then wanted to know more. Earick explained a selfie is a self-photograph taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone held at arm’s length and often shared on social networking services such as Facebook and Twitter. Dill was surprised that Earick could take a picture with her phone and exclaimed “Well oh my goodness! The things you can do.”

Mrs. Dill was born on September 10, 1913 in Kansas. Mildred is the widow of Nolan Leichty with whom she had one daughter, Rochelle Schlecty, and four sons, Evan, Lester, Keenan and Forest Leichty. Mildred’s second husband, Joe Dill, is also deceased. She has numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. She was a homemaker and worked at Murphy’s store in Greenville for 25 years. Mildred was also a volunteer at Wayne Hospital for 25 years. Versailles Health Care Center, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center, has been home to Mrs. Dill for the past seven years. When not taking selfies, Dill enjoys playing bingo and sending out greeting cards to her family and friends.
