A 103-year-old woman and her 83-year-old daughter got a last-minute eviction reprieve when sheriff's deputies and movers decided they couldn’t uproot the women from their longtime Atlanta home.

Fulton County Sheriff’s deputies and a moving company hired by the bank showed up at Vita Lee’s Penelope Road home on Tuesday, . Deutsche Bank apparently holds the mortgage that is being serviced locally by Chase, the station reported. The planned eviction was reportedly the latest move in a legal battle that dates back years.

But when the men saw the frail woman, they opted to leave instead of carry through with the forced move, WSBTV.com reported.

The reprieve comes just three weeks shy of Lee’s 104[SUP]th[/SUP]-birthday. Lee said she just wants to live out her last days in the place she has called home for more than half a century. "I love it. It’s a mansion," she said about the modest house.

Still, the stress of the situation was apparently too much for Lee’s daughter, who reportedly was rushed to the hospital. Lee said she hopes now the bank will leave her alone.
"Please don't come in and disturb me no more," Lee told WSBTV.com. "When I'm gone you all can come back and do whatever they want to."

No the bank won't leave them alone. Sad but true.

Once you turn 100, people should just leave you the fuck alone. It's not like she has employment options. Jeezus.

I'm all about the money too, but there is a special place in hell for people who would do that to a 104 year old woman.

Yeah I couldn't live with myself if I was them and followed through with the eviction. Good on them.

And lets hope that the bad publicity that the bank gets from this makes them change their minds.

which is the basis of the "occupy" movement.....it's all about how much you can take from as many as you can for as long as you can.

Just remember one thing: the reason we are in a recession? Greedy banks...no ifs ands or buts.

The media should publish the name and picture of the big hancho that signed the eviction notice!

I bet it wasn't a big anything...just some mortgage clerk who makes minimum wage carrying out bank policy.
