Beatrice Lillie got her associate degree diploma from Houston Community College in business management at 80 years old.

Reportedly, she owned an answering service way before there were voicemail and cell phones. She was a secretary in Harris County’s Probation Department. She was also a cosmetologist.

“I did it to set an example for my children and grandchildren. If grandma can do it, I can do it,” she said.
