Oakland woman turns 105

Ranza Ray Harvey-Devereaux is turning 105-years-old today. She wrote a poem 15 years ago called, Blessed. Happy birthday Ranza.

A longtime KTVU viewer and Oakland resident turned 105 on Wednesday – and her family want to mark the momentous occasion by wishing her well on Mornings on 2.

Ranza Ray Harvey-Devereaux  was born on Aug. 18, 1916.

She moved from Louisiana to Oakland with her husband in 1939, where she lives to this day.

Her family said she wrote a poem more than 15 years ago, called, "Blessed."

And in that poem, she asked God to allow her to live 105 years.

Happy birthday!
