Published 6:31 am Monday, February 3, 2020

Life-long Port Arthur resident Alma Linden will turn 100 on Tuesday.

Linden and her family enjoyed a birthday celebration Dec. 28, which was done early because it coincided with the travel plans of numerous out-of-state relatives, family friends and caregiver Tami Briscoe Green, RN of Dallas.

Green was born in Port Arthur and is a 1977 graduate of Lincoln High School.

According to family, Green cared for Linden during the months following Hurricane Harvey, when Linden lost nearly all her possessions and was airlifted to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas — which is also where Green works.
