Celebrating 102 years with Trudy Baber

Posted by Staff on March 31, 2024 - 6:00am

By Paula Pyzik Scott

Maple Crest resident Trudy Baber is described by her neighbors as a “spitfire” and it’s easy to see why. She was born on March 30, 1922 but you would never guess that she is 102 years old.

Pediatrics, Caughman Health Center

The most fulfilling part of being a mom and a pediatrician for me is witnessing my own child and other little ones under my care attain new skill levels in their growth journey. Those initial grins or giggles followed by those hesitant first steps are especially precious moments both for children and parents.

However, every child develops at their own pace, and some may need a little more time to reach certain milestones. As a parent, you know your child best.
