Pa. woman celebrates 102nd birthday as matriarch to her family

WARMINSTER, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Katherine Binns is a Pennsylvania woman who marked a special milestone turning 102-years-old.

"I just love life, I enjoy being a mom, and I enjoy being a grandmom," said Binns.

Her children held a special celebration with family, friends, and residents of the retirement home to celebrate the momentous occasion.

"Everybody calls her mom mom, and everybody would do anything for mom mom," said Katherine's son, Wayne Binns.

She grew up during the Great Depression as an only child with dreams of having a bigger family.

Now, that dream has come true as she is the matriarch to many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

"She was an only child, so I think she really appreciated having a bigger family, and being the matriarch to a family that's extended to 10 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren," said Wayne Binns.

Katherine Binns stays young from her love of her family, and she hopes they continue to feel the love they provided for her.
