The Roseville woman celebrated the milestone Thursday by doing what she has done to mark several of her biggest birthdays: jumping out of an airplane.
"If you slow down, life is over," McNally said. "So you just keep on keeping on and enjoying life."
Now, at 100, she was ready to do it again.
Among those joining her was longtime neighbor Rick Kelly, who had previously jumped with McNally when she turned 90. Kelly had promised that if they were both still around a decade later, he would make the jump with her again.
Five of McNally's family members and friends also took the leap.
Before takeoff, McNally had just a few words for her instructor: "Let's go, let's do it!"
"Go, Ruby!" they shouted.
"You know, my kids keep saying, 'Why don't you act your age?' " McNally said. "That's no fun. So it keeps life exciting. And you know, that's what keeps you going. If you're sitting in a chair, life is over."
"And if God keeps me going, then we'll just talk about it later," she said. "I'm not giving up yet."
"May we all be like you, if we are so lucky and blessed," one granddaughter said.
