Some stories rise above time, and How to Live Well Past 100 Years is one of them, a breathtaking tribute to Mother Lucille D. Shazier, a woman whose 107-year journey is stitched together with faith, perseverance, and unbreakable strength.
From surviving pandemics to witnessing monumental societal shifts, Mother Shazier’s story is living history. Long before women could vote and long before Black women were considered in these conversations, she was already learning to navigate a world determined to limit her yet she never allowed bitterness to take root.
A Life Built on Grace, Wisdom, and Spiritual Resilience
Mother Shazier never knew her biological mother and never learned the fate of her older sister. She lived through the Spanish Flu pandemic, the deadliest in history, and through generations of injustice, heartbreak, and transformation. Yet she embodied the words of Angelou and Hughes, rising from every setback with dignity and divine strength.
Her declaration, “I walk by faith, not by sight,” is not just a scripture it is the theme of her life.
