Jean Buford, a remarkable woman from Haskell, Texas, turned 101 years old in 2024. She has lived a life rich in history, resilience, and a profound affection for her hometown. During a sunny afternoon conversation, her eyes gleamed with memories as she fondly recalled her life’s journey.
Having experienced 10 decades of life, she has memories of the Roaring ’20s, the Great Depression, World War II, & Vietnam War. She grew up playing baseball and football and riding her bike. “I think everyone should grow up in a small town,” Jean replied with a nostalgic smile. “Everybody knew everybody. It was safe.”
