Even though it rained on their parade - the surprise didn't mean any less. Mary Eleanor Ronez, who goes by Eleanor, was born on August 3rd, 1913. In 107 years, she's lived through two world wars, the Great Depression, and has quite the family. And on Saturday, they all came together with people in the community to throw her a surprise parade at the Heritage in Findlay.
"No, I didn't think anything was gonna happen like this. My goodness! I just thought they would have a cake for me,” said Eleanor.
A few of her 149 grandchildren drove by to wish her a happy birthday. Some dropped off gifts and others brought her favorite treat - chocolate!
"Ohhhh I love that!” exclaimed Eleanor.
The special treat of chocolate is the trick for long life, said Eleanor. She even shared some of her century of wisdom and advice with the younger generation.
"Just live, and enjoy your life. You're not gonna get another one,” she said.
