“She is a very happy and gracious lady,” Betty Husley, one of Harrington’s five children, told Fox 5 Atlanta.

Husley described her mother as very independent and said she enjoys reading, shopping and visiting with friends.

“She is hardly ever idle,” Husley told Fox 5 Atlanta. “Always doing something and has a very positive outlook on life.”
