This Is What Her Family Thinks"},"content":{"rendered":"

Adelaide woman Irene O\u2019shea is again the world\u2019s oldest skydiver after completing a jump on Sunday at the age of 102.<\/h3>\n

She first took out the title with her first jump when she turned 100, and son-in-law Mike FitzHenry says there was no talking her out of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, not with Irene O\u2019Shea — you don\u2019t try and talk her out of anything,\u201d Mike told FIVEAA breakfast on Monday. \u201cShe decides what is going to be and you go with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s been the general rule and now she\u2019s matriarch of course we have that duty and we adhere to it quite consistently.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Irene has 11 great grandchildren, still drives and reads without glasses — so what\u2019s her secret?<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s been asked that question many times,\u201d Mike said. \u201cGood living, clean living, honest living.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd she says it\u2019s in the genes. If you\u2019re meant to go to 100 you do, and if you don\u2019t that\u2019s the way the Lord means it, is basically her philosophy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
