TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - A Tallahassee woman with memories lasting more than a century shares what she's thankful for this Thanksgiving.

Emma Baker recalled for members of the Woodville community her holiday memories of when she was just a young girl.

She says her mother would have a house full of guests and would take hours to prepare a Thanksgiving meal to enjoy after church.

On Thanksgiving, Baker said she was very thankful to continue to share these holidays with multiple generations in her family.

One piece of advice Baker has for younger generations is to continue to give thanks for health and blessings, not only on Thanksgiving, but everyday of the year.
