With a smile and a puff of breath, Elisa DelGreco blew out the candles on her birthday cake. But this wasn't just any cake: It was a celebration of her 103rd birthday.
The oldest child of the late Crescenco and Maria Guiseppa DelGreco, Elisa was born on Oct. 25, 1909 in Zuperelli, Italy. Today she resides in the Summit Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Lehighton, where she enjoys spending time with her friends and family and remains fiercely independent.
