DeKalb County woman celebrates 100th birthday with family and friends
Lelia Mae Williams' family threw her a big party at an event center in Decatur on Saturday.
Her family said she's still doing great.
'I've taken her to the grocery store and she walks around picking out her own groceries,' Telisha Murray told Channel 2. 'So she is very lively to be 100 years old and in her right mind. Her memory goes back so far, and she can remember it all.'
Her relatives say she taught them to work hard, go to church, and to love people.

Georgia Bulldogs OL arrested, faces felony charges
Georgia Bulldogs sophomore offensive lineman Jahzare Jackson was arrested on July 16 on four separate charges. Jackson was booked in Clarke County Jail at 11:50 p.m. ET and was released at 4:17 a.m. on July 17 after spending approximately 4 and 1/2 hours. Jackson faces three drug-related charges including possession of marijuana over one ounce, possession and use of drug-related objects, and possession of marijuana less than one ounce. Jackson was released from Clarke County Jail after posting a bond of $5,030. The vast majority of Jackson's bond ($5,000) is due to possession of marijuana over one ounce, which is a felony. Jackson was initially pulled over in his 2017 Tesla for holding a cell phone while driving (a misdemeanor in Georgia). The 6-foot-10, 350-pound offensive lineman is known for playing three years of basketball with Overtime Elite before coming to Georgia. He appeared in all 14 games last season for Georgia in primarily a special teams role. Jackson was named to the SEC's first-year academic honor roll. The University of Georgia did not comment following Jackson's arrest. Jackson's arrest came the night after coach Kirby Smart addressed the media at the 2025 SEC media days event. Jackson will likely face a suspension and possibly more consequences as his future with the team is murkier now. Follow UGAWire on Instagram or Threads!
