A pair of identical twins Mary Belle Roach and Mae Belle Powell from
Symsonia, Kentucky, who have never lived apart, still dress alike, get their
hair done together, and live with each other in their childhood home, just
celebrated their 100th birthdays – and they still can’t get enough of each
The pair have even taken to sharing a bedroom in case one of them ever
needs anything in the middle of the night. They told in an interview that,
“We’re together all the time; we’ve never been separated. That’s all we know:
to love each other.”
The sisters, who are still known as ‘The Wallace Twins’ because of their
maiden names, were born in their hometown of Symsonia on March 25, 1916 in the
midst of World War I.
Over the course of their lifetimes, they have visited all 50 states, as
well eight countries in Europe, together. The women, who are both widows,
continue to remain active despite their 100 years.
Mae Belle insisted that if she is not with her sister she is worried, and
they both agree that they simply can’t get enough of each other. “I need her
all the time. We’ve had a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life and still have
it,” Mae Belle said.
As for their secret to living to 100, Mae Belle told Inside Edition its
‘good genes’, noting that their mother lived to be 97. “We didn’t smoke cigarettes. We didn’t smoke
that pot. We never drank beer,” she added.
