Edythe Kirchmaier, Facebook's Oldest User, Shares Her Beautiful Wisdom (VIDEO)

Kirchmaier went on to work in a welfare office in Chicago during the Great Depression, where she met her husband. The two were married for almost 70 years. "I was his supervisor, so we spent time together every day consulting and we fell in love," she says. "He was almost two-and-a-half years younger than I -- I robbed the cradle."

For the past 40 years, Kirchmaier has been volunteering at Direct Relief. "It's a humanitarian organization that sends medical aid around the world," she says. "Even though it's just addressing envelopes or writing thank you notes, it's very meaningful to those of us who do it. It really feeds my soul and I think it's God plan for us to leave the world a better place."

Kirchmaier has lived through two world wars and 19 different presidents, and this is the wisdom she has gained: "I think if we could just love one another, it would be less pain, less fighting, more harmony," she says. "I think we can win over all of our adversities with love."

Apparently, optimism is forever.
