On Sunday mornings at First Baptist Church of Palm Coast, when the music grips her soul, or the pastor speaks to her heart, Mabel Dunbar responds with shouts of "glory," and she may even get up and dance. There is no one in the entire congregation as colorful and with more personality than Mabel, and yet, she's the oldest. Born in 1914, she just celebrated her 101st birthday on Saturday, Sept. 5.
