what a legend! Edith Renfrow Smith's life is like a super long thread that weaves together history, memories & love 
she was literally a keeper of the past & a symbol of hope for generations to come 
i mean, 111 years old? talk about a century+ of experience & wisdom 
her story is a testament to what we can achieve when we're dedicated to our passions & values 
and that quote she once said? "take what you have, make use of it, and be thankful for what you have" 
so inspiring! 
another historical figure bites the dust, leaving us with a whole lot of nostalgia and a bunch of people who are probs feeling extra old now 
. I mean, 111 is impressive, but let's be real, it's not like she was gonna live forever or anything 
. Still, can't deny the woman's dedication to her craft – passing down stories and history like they were going outta style 
. And hey, a dorm named after her? That's some solid legacy right there . Guess that means we'll all have to up our game when it comes to remembering stuff... not gonna happen 
.
I'm truly heartbroken to hear about Edith Renfrow Smith's passing at 111 She was an absolute treasure, a shining light in a world that sometimes struggles to preserve its past. Her life is a testament to the power of memory and perseverance - she lived through two World Wars, met Amelia Earhart, and graduated from Grinnell College as the first Black female student 
Her impact on Grinnell College and the community around her will be felt for generations to come This is a message we can all learn from, especially in these uncertain times. Edith Renfrow Smith may be gone, but her memory will live on in our hearts 
can't believe this woman is actually dead 
111 years old is insane! I'm still trying to wrap my head around her life story being so rich and full of amazing experiences. From meeting Amelia Earhart to being the first Black female graduate from Grinnell College... what's next? I think she set a new record for most achievements by someone who's, like, almost as old as grandma .. I mean, I've seen so many of these "legend" stories and I'm always curious to know if they're even true or if they're just myths created by the internet
