Rachel McDonald, a longtime Pacific Beach resident, celebrated her 100th birthday with family and friends at the Pacific Beach Women’s Club, 1721 Hornblend St., on May 10, one day before she officially hit the centenarian mark. Wearing a sparkly tiara, McDonald shared her wisdom with the crowd, saying, “Age is just a passing of time, its what you do with it that counts.” McDonald’s granddaughters Cyndi Silverman and Ellen Cajka, who attended the celebration, said that their grandmother has been sharing that advice with them since they were little, in addition to one of her other favorite pearls of wisdom: “Always keep a man in your life.”
