100-year-old skydiving grandma proves age is just a number
Ruby McNally marked her centennial with a skydive joined by six family members and friends, continuing a tradition that began at age 80.
- On Thursday, Ruby McNally celebrated her 100th birthday by skydiving at SkyDance SkyDiving in Davis. The Roseville resident, joined by six family members and friends, completed the jump to mark the milestone.
- This skydiving tradition began two decades ago on her 80th birthday after a grandson challenged her to jump. McNally returned for another jump at 90 and promised to return when she turned 100.
- "There's not that many other people on planet Earth that can say, 'Hey, I'm going skydiving with Grandma that's 100,'" April Bartok said. Family members joined the jump, celebrating McNally's determination.
- Daughter Sharon McNally noted the difficulty of dissuading her mother, saying "At 100, you learn you're not talking her out of anything." The family expressed pride in McNally's adventurous spirit.
- McNally expressed interest in skydiving again at 110, saying "I'm aiming for it." Her granddaughter proposed making the jump an annual event rather than waiting another decade.
