At 90 years old, the grandma who went viral after her home was destroyed by the Los Angeles wildfire remains optimistic about starting anew.

In Altadena, California, a nearly 90-year-old grandmother of four gained millions of social media views after her granddaughter shared her advice following the devastating California wildfires.

Next month, Ruth Judkins, who is turning 90, has been using the devastation from the Southern California wildfires as an opportunity to reassess and simplify her life.

""Simplify your life at any age and have the strength, energy, and faith to rebuild it, as Judkins advised Planet Chronicle Digital," the speaker said."

She emphasized the significance of recognizing what's crucial and acting in accordance with one's beliefs.

Her granddaughter's Instagram video featuring her simple words of wisdom has garnered over 3 million views and thousands of comments.

The wildfires destroyed Judkins' longtime home in Altadena, one of the many thousands affected.

"Six of the 12 single-family houses on my street remain, while six have burned," she stated.

After spending a typical day with her daughter and granddaughter, Judkins returned home to her solitary living space and was struck with horror as she began to read.

"I heard the noise, which was the wind going 70 to 80 mph, and it was horrendous even with double pane glass windows. Eventually, I went out and saw that the fire was to my east."

The resident of Southern California for over two decades has experienced other devastating wildfires and stated that they usually begin in the mountains rather than in the canyons.

However, this began at our latitude. As a result, it was a new experience," she stated. "This has never occurred. It was moving quickly to my east due to the winds.

After assessing the rapidly expanding fire, Judkins received an alert to evacuate immediately.

"She said, "I received a loud alert on my phone that read, 'Get out,' so I quickly gathered what I thought were essentials, loaded my car, and left.""

"I was so confident that the fire would be resolved," she said. "I would have grabbed only one wall of irreplaceable photos and maybe my recipe box too."

At her age, Judkins stated that most possessions in life are replaceable, and one doesn't need them.

"You know that most things are replaceable, and after being in your house for 48 years, as I have, you don't really need them," she said.

The elderly woman, who is almost 90 years old, revealed that she was raised in the 1950s and learned that although money is necessary for survival, it does not guarantee happiness.

"I used to own three sets of dishes, but now I only need one set of 12 for my family and a set of four for daily use," she stated. "As for clothing, I have enough."

Judkins hopes to rebuild her home sustainably in the future.

"Although it will take time to rebuild the house, I am eager to do so. As I am getting older, I don't have many more years left in this house," she said. "I spent five years saving for an all-electric kitchen and it was worth it. I loved doing the dishes because everything had a place!"

"I want to redo the house with the same footprint, but I want a sustainable house with electric heat and an electric water heater."

Carolina, her daughter, started a fundraising campaign for Judkins following her mother's loss in the fire.

"My grandma had only minutes to evacuate during the fire and was able to grab only her dog, leaving everything else behind. She also lost her rental properties, which were her primary source of income at the age of 89. This has left her with no safety net."
