Family, friends and staff surrounded Mrs. Thelva Sharpe as she celebrated her 103rd birthday Thursday in the Rose Café at Gentilly Gardens. The lobby and café were decorated in white and pink ribbons, balloons and “Happy Birthday!” banners to honor Sharpe’s feat. Chaka White, the executive director of Gentilly Gardens, was curious about how Sharpe has been able to live so long.
