LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Maudie White Hopkins, who grew up during the Depression in the hardscrabble Ozarks and married a Confederate army veteran 67 years her senior, has died. She was 93.
Hopkins, the mother of three children from a second marriage who loved to make fried peach pies and applesauce cakes, died Sunday at a hospital in Helena-West Helena, said Rodger Hooker of the Roller-Citizens Funeral Home.

Other Confederate widows are still living, but they don't want any publicity, Martha Boltz of the United Daughters of the Confederacy said Tuesday.

Why don't women like older men now? Sheesh, I had a 30 year old act like I was ancient at 45.

Between your upbringing and hers, there was a steep drop in the quality of education. She's a product of the self-esteem-as-education generation, which means she's all about pop culture, clothes, and guys with serious behavioral issues. At 45 in this point in time, you are probably normal, and normal is not the quality that 30 year olds in this day are looking for. Wear looser fitting clothes with crazy designs on earth-tone T-shirts and walk around looking like you don't care. Cuss a lot. Learn the latest release from Wu Tang or something. Then the 30 year old can relate.

Just wait until you're 60 and wealthy...The 30 year olds will be all over you!

That is amazing to me that a Widow of Confederate soldier lived until 2008. Even with the age difference it is still amazing.
