A West Oahu woman turned 100 surrounded by family, a feel-good story for the Maili community.

• Dorothea Hannahs, known to everyone as Auntie Dottie, marked her 100th birthday with 70 relatives and friends.
• The party was held at a Chinese restaurant in Makakilo, fitting for a woman who spent her life feeding others.
• She grew up on the Big Island and worked for decades as a chef in West Oahu.
• Her family says her secret to a long life is simple: love one another and stay happy.

Outlook: Auntie Dottie's family plans to keep the celebrations going as she begins her second century.
