94-year-old Ann I. Schroeder of Iowa is retiring after an incredible 75 years with Davenport Spring Company where she started her career in 1949 and remained her entire working life. The company later became part of the Mutual Wheel Group. Wafaa Ezzat from affiliate KWQC reports.

Many people can’t wait to retire early. And then there’s 94-year-old Ann Schroeder who worked at the same company for 75 years, crediting her job for her long, healthy life. Schroeder just retired in October from the Davenport Spring Company in Iowa, where she was responsible for bookkeeping and customer service. She still drives a half-ton pickup truck, lives independently in her own house and loves to go bowling.

” Eat everything in moderation Schroeder doesn’t have a special diet. “I eat very ordinary food — vegetables, meat and potatoes,” she says. “I’m pretty much an all-around eater.” She avoids red meat because she has high blood pressure, so chicken and fish are her preferred protein sources. She enjoys fruit and chocolate ice cream. One food in particular tops her favorites list. “I’m a great peanut butter lover, and I like to eat nuts of all types,” she says.
