101-Year-Old Woman Who Still Works Six Days A Week Reveals Her Four Secrets To Staying Sharp And Happy
A centenarian who continues to work virtually daily has shared her life lessons and the main tasks she completes each day.
At the age of 101, Ann Angeletti, a local jeweler, has gained some knowledge throughout the years. She is well-liked by her clients and is accustomed to working hard in the Diamond District.
She told ABC7 NY that she started working early, skipping school to assist her family’s Brooklyn grocery store.
Long before refrigeration was created, her father was a door-to-door ice vendor who traveled by horse-drawn cart.
The mother started working as a server at the Navy Yard after her husband was ordered to fight in World War II, and she has been a passionate entrepreneur ever since.
She created her own passion, Curiosity Jewelry in Cresskill, after working for others for a long time.
Angeletti talked about how her business is her life, with her daughter and granddaughter assisting her in running the store.

“If I retire, I would die,” she declared. “I was driving by, the store was for rent, and I called the owner and asked him, how much is the rent, and he said $85 a month in 1964.”
She has been working six days a week, every week, and she couldn’t imagine doing anything else, even though her store is only open five days a week. She attributes her achievement to putting her “self-care” first.
“Must get up, you must shower, you must eat, you must take care of yourself. You must exercise,” Angeletti said. “If you don’t like what you’re doing, then change.”
She went on to claim that she loves what she does, saying, “Make the most of that day. I’m happy working every day.”
About 2,646 persons in New Jersey are 100 years of age or older, according to The Daily Mail, while 44.4 centurians, the highest number in the US, live in Hawaii for every 100,000 citizens, according to Newsweek.
Her story struck a profound chord with viewers, who labeled her a “inspiration.” One commenter even claimed to believe she had won “the genetic lottery.”
There was a woman who legally won the genetic lottery, although it’s unclear if she did.
The ‘oldest person in the world’, Maria Branyas Morera, was 117 years old in August 2024 when she died.
She requested that scientists examine her before she passed away in order to identify the reason behind her long life.
And it seems that her genes played a major role.
