New York - 88-year old Rose Donaghey has been waiting tables since she was
a teenager.
You think she would retire and put her feet up, but Rose
isn't having any of that.
She's financially secure and doesn't have to work.
All the tips and money she gets now go into the church
basket.
Rose was born in Northern Ireland and worked hard her whole
life.
When she came in nearly 20 years ago asking for a job,
her boss thought she was maybe asking for her daughter or her
granddaughter.
She was asking for herself and her boss says she is the best
employee she's ever had.
She has a great attitude and she never quits.
Rose says the hard work keeps her young, and that she feels
50, not 88.
