TWIN FALLS, Idaho — A milestone birthday was celebrated at Avista Senior Living on Monday as resident Naomia Bliss reached the remarkable age of 103. Family and friends gathered to honor her life and the many experiences that have shaped her over the past century.

These reflections underscore the deep relationships she has built and the importance of family in her life.
Her journey through life has been marked not only by familial milestones but also by adventures shared with her late husband. “One of my favorite memories is spending time and traveling with him,” Bliss reminisced.
