This 94-Year-Old Mother of 18 Has Been a Crossing Guard for 25 Years

94-Year-Old grandma has stirred as she differed the laws of nature actively working as crossing guard when most of her mates are in retirement.

She started at the job 25 years ago at the age of 69. She said, “My son-in-law, he was a policeman then. And he needed somebody, and he asked me if I would help him a few days.” But then the few days turned to years.

Williams, who is also a mother to 18 children, is now the oldest crossing guard in South Carolina and one of the oldest in the U.S.

“In the middle, I let them out. And I stop this traffic – I stop this. And let the school traffic out. It’s simple,” she said.

“Yeah, I keep the kids safe. And the people,” she said.

“It’s good. I enjoy doing it,” Williams told ABC News 4 about her job controlling the traffic outside Westside High School in Anderson, South Carolina.
