Irene Dunning may be the oldest woman in Polk County. Recently she celebrated her 103rd birthday at Good Samaritan Society nursing home in Osceola. Irene graduated from Osceola High School, was a teacher and spent most of her life in Shelby. She commented “well, I’m at a nice place with you nice people, so I’m going to stay around a little while longer”. PCN photo by Craig Pinley.
