DALLAS — Editor's note: The video above is a WFAA report published in 2018.
Rose Landin, the Dallas woman who worked at the State Fair of Texas for two decades and was still working an information booth at 101 years old, has died.
Landin's daughter told WFAA she died peacefully Wednesday night. She was 105 years old.
WFAA profiled Landin in 2018 when she turned 100 years old and was still working for the State Fair of Texas. She was a fixture at the fair for more than 25 years. She and her late husband volunteered several more years before that.
The information booth she worked in alongside two co-workers was just yards away from the Gulf Cloud fountain she remembers first seeing as a child. The fountain was installed in 1916 two years before she was born. When she first saw the fountain, she was an orphan on a school field trip with other young girls from her orphanage.
"Every time I talk about it, I get broken up." she told of the memory in 2018. "But, we had a lot of fun."
The fun she had kept her coming back year after year, rain or shine, as was detailed in our 2018 story.
"Good days and bad days," she said of her days at the fair.
"The bad days is when it rains," she laughed. "It's good, but I would rather not have it."
Funeral arrangements will be shared soon, Landin's family told WFAA.
