Moose Jaw legend Mickey Gower still the life of the party at 106
Mickey Gower doesn’t own a cellphone. She’s never used the internet. But at 106 years old, the Moose Jaw legend still lives on her own, cooks her own meals, and plays bridge three times a week.
“She sets an example,” says her son Gregg Gower. “By lunchtime, she’s done what most of us do in a whole day.”
Born Muriel McConnell in Central Butte in 1919, Mickey has lived through the Great Depression, two world wars, and more than a century of social change. But her family says she hasn’t just witnessed history, she’s made her mark on it.
