*A grandmother and mother of 18 made headlines in 2020 for being the oldest crossing guard in South Carolina.
At age 94, Estella Williams is also the oldest crossing guard in the U.S., as reported by ABC News.

“It’s good. I enjoy doing it,” she explained in early 2021.
“My son-in-law, he was a policeman then. And he needed somebody, and he asked me if I would help him a few days,” she said of how she came to become a crossing guard 25 years ago.
“Yeah, I keep the kids safe. And the people,” she stated of her duty.
“Maybe I’ll give it another year or so. Just treat everybody right, that’s my motto,” she explained.
