Peoria woman celebrates 105th birthday
PEORIA, Ill. – (25 News) – A Peoria woman is celebrating living well over a century as she turns 105 years old this weekend.
The Grand View Alzheimer’s Special Care Center held a small, drive-by car parade Saturday to celebrate Margaret Langenberg’s birthday. Her birthday is Sunday.
Residents and Langenberg’s family joined her in celebrating her big day.
Langenberg said she’s happy she’s lived a long life.
As far as advice for the younger folks on how to live a long life, she said simply keep living life.
“I think the young people are just doing fine,” Langenberg said. “They all look happy, smiling. They’re doing so well, there’s nothing I can tell them they shouldn’t do or anything.”
Langenberg has lived in Peoria her whole life and she worked as a secretary.
A longtime bicycle lover, she once rode more than 10,000 miles over the course of two years in her 60s.
