Diquinzio’s goddaughter, Connie Lundstrum, asked a friend to help her do something special for the milestone birthday. The town board presented her with a certificate of achievement. She also received a flower bouquet, just before the packed room sang her happy birthday.

Lundstrum said her godmother is a wonderful person.

Asked what her secret was, both Diquinzio and Lundstrom said with a smirk and laugh to drink plenty of red wine.

The soon-to-be birthday girl’s niece, Jeanne, nephews Danny and John and niece-in-law', Debbie, along with some of their children, were in attendance.
