Mae Burdon, at 107, is believed to be the oldest person in Rhode Island. Today, she and almost 100 people celebrated her birthday at the Linn Health Center in East Providence, where she now lives. Burdon was raised in Providence and lived many years in Warwick. Her secret to longevity? "Take things as they come," she says.
