Odessa, TX (AHN) Residents at the Deerings Nursing Home have a special secret Santa: 99-year-old Sybil Rice, who lives alone and makes gift baskets for them.
On Monday, she and her family delivered 70 baskets to residents.
Nina Rice, Sybils 72-year-old daughter-in-law, says, "I think it's quite unusual - she's doing it for people younger than she is. She shops on her walker and makes these sacks (for residents). She buys sugar-free things (for diabetics) and until this year, she has also baked sugar-free cakes."
This years gift bags were made to look like snowmen, complete with shoe-button eyes. They contain cookies, candies, and bananas.
