Staying social
The sisters also credit an active social life with their old age. “Keep going,” Kompus stated. She also believes trying to remain active, even just through walking, is absolutely essential.
Keeping the faith
Another secret the sisters shared was their belief in god. “I think faith comes first!” Kopriva admitted. This faith helps them to find meaning in their lives, plus makes them less afraid of what comes after.
Having each other
One of the sweetest reasons the sisters give for their long lives is their relationships with one another. The three have always been close, but have really relied on each other since becoming widows. They hang out and play games with each other every night. “They just got together and they’ve been their support for each other, forever,” Kompus’ daughter, Fran Allacher confided.
The three sisters also made sure to support each other when they were younger, too. They always shared the responsibilities of raising their families, meaning none of them ever felt alone in the world. Pochop’s daughter, Valyne, explained that, “they’ve always been involved in each other’s lives.”
