Woman, 104, Lies About Age on Facebook
Don’t blame 104-year-old Michigan woman, Marguerite Joseph, for lying. It is all about the Facebook glitch. Facebook does not allow 3-digit age on its system!
“All of our family members always asked how grandma was doing on my Facebook page,” said Marguerite’s granddaughter, Gail Marlow, to WDIV-TV. “So I decided I would set up a page of her own so she could stay connected to her family in Canada.”
Marguerite was 102 when her Facebook page was created, she’s legally blind and hard of hearing, but each day Gail reads and responds to all of her grandma’s Facebook messages.
Marguerite has been 99 years old online for years since Facebook will not allow her birth year of 1908.
Facebook official did not immediately respond to a message Wednesday seeking comment.
