Cheers to 100 years

CRANBERRY TWP — Celebrating a special birthday this weekend at Atria Senior Living, friends and family members enjoyed the guest of honor’s drink of choice, martinis.

“Now everyone knows my age,” said Ruth Rapetti, a community resident who celebrated her 100th birthday Sunday.

As the party continued, they sang "Happy Birthday“ and Rapetti blew out the candles on a cake. Between bites, she sipped on a gin martini, which she said was delicious.

Rapetti said the party was beyond what she was expecting.

“This is so sweet of everybody to do this for me, and I really appreciate that,” Rapetti said. “It’s such a nice surprise.”
