Nagdiwang ng kanyang ika-106 na kaarawan si Florence Hackman noong December 16, 2024.

Mas kilala siya bilang Flo.

Tinatawag din siyang "Fireball Flo" dahil sa pagkahilig niya sa Fireball Whisky.

Bago ang kanyang mismong birthday, nagkaroon ng private party last December 14 para kay Flo sa Traditions of Deerfield sa Loveland, isang assisted living community sa Ohio, USA kung saan siya naninirahan ngayon.

HER SECRET TO LONG LIFE

Para kay Flo, ang kanyang sikreto sa pagkakaroon ng mahabang buhay ay ang pagiging laging masaya at positibo.

Malaking tulong din aniya ang paborito niyang whisky.

Pagbabahagi niya sa artikulong nalathala sa local community webpage na Traditions of Deerfield, “I just try to be nice to people and try to go one day at a time—that’s all.

“If you get that one day in, then you can go on to the next one. So that’s what you’ve got to do—one day at a time—think what I’ve got to do today.

Nagtrabaho si Flo sa Union Central Life Insurance Company.

Nang dumami na ang kanilang mga anak ni Joseph, nagdesisyon siyang magpokus sa pagiging homemaker.

Ibinahagi ni Flo na ang kanyang ina ay nabuhay sa loob ng 104 taon—kaya may Fireball Whisky man o wala, sadyang nasa genes niya ang mahabang buhay.
