After opening shop at the age of 60, Catherine Tompkins of Tompkins Jewellers is marking her store's 40th anniversary this year, while celebrating her 100 birthday.

"As far as Tompkins Jewellers in concerned, I put a lot of time and effort into it, you know," she said. "Having a birthday is just another day, but having a business is something else."

"I was always interested in jewelry and the occasion popped up where I had the chance to buy some jewelry and start a business," she said. "I’m so thankful for my family who run the business and who are here to celebrate with me." "Not only did she start at 60, but being a female and doing it all on her own, she didn't do it with my father, my father was doing something else at the time, so she’s such an inspiration."
