‘Bingo Queen’ celebrates 109th birthday – as friends reveal centenarian’s secret to a long life

A Maryland woman celebrated her 109th birthday by playing bingo with her friends who said the centenarian’s secret to a long life is staying single for the past three decades.

Jennie Libertini celebrated another birthday on Feb. 5 at Little Sisters of the Poor at St. Martin’s Home in Catonsville and many wanted to know her secrets to a long life.

“She’s been without a man, she’s been divorced for about 30 years, so no stress,” friend and resident  Peggy Bocklage told CBS News.

With no man to annoy her, the centenarian had nothing to worry about besides getting a few rounds of bingo in on her big day.

“When she was asked what she wanted to do for her birthday, she said she wanted to have a bingo birthday party,” Marcy Shea-Frank, the center’s development director told People.
