Nadine Pence smiles at her 100th birthday party at the Homer Senior Center on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016. Pence's great-granddaughter - still unnamed - was born in Anchorage on her birthday.  Pence was born in Ottawa, Kansas, on Sept. 20, 1916. She came to Homer in 1933. Her late husband, Edward, was a territorial police officer. She offered some advice for living a long life. "Just keep going," she said. "Don't let 'em get you down."
