As 2025 comes to a close, and a new year looms on the horizon, health, resolutions, and manifestations are top of mind.

But what about the people who have lived more than a century of life? What do they have to say about longevity?

Well, TODAY spoke with several men and women, all over 100 years of age, who are still running businesses, working out in the gym, and even getting married.

JoCleta Wilson, who recently turned 101, is Home Depot’s oldest employee in the U.S., working two mornings a week as a cashier in a Louisville, Kentucky store.

“I retired three different times — 10 years each time in retirement, and it is not what it’s cracked up to be. I got so tired of myself,” Wilson shared with Today. “I had to get out of the house and come back to work and see what was going on in society. … I have a lot of fun.”

In July, 100-year-old John Glomstad married his 87-year-old bride in a waterfront ceremony in Bremerton, Washington.

“Who knew that there would be life after 100?” Glomstad told Today. “I’m just an eternal optimist.”
