Leola Robinson Honored For Her 100th Birthday
February 23, 2023
The Town of Century has issued a proclamation recognizing the 100th birthday of resident Leola Robinson .
Robinson was born February 19, 1923, in Burnt Corn, Alabama, and known for raising her children and helping others in the community do the same, according to the proclamation.
She serves on stewardess board and mission board at Wesley Chapel Church and is a founding member of the Century-Flomaton Improvement Association. She earned a two-year teaching certificate from Alabama State University and attended Florida A&M University for two summers, paving the way for four generations of 12 FAME students to follow in her footsteps.

Sister Leola is indeed an inspiration. Her wisdom and her wit encouraged me as a young minister. With confident faith this lady spoke truth to power whether at church or in the community. I join with her children and call her blessed! Happy Birthday Sis. Leola!
