A woman who celebrated her 106th birthday at her retirement home in Ohio credited her long life to a positive attitude -- and a love of Fireball whiskey.
Florence Hackman was nicknamed “Fireball Flo” after her love of the liquor led to the manufacturer sending her complimentary bottles and merchandise for her 105th birthday. She turned 106 Monday at the Traditions of Deerfield senior living facility in Loveland. Florence said, “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. You’ve got to keep moving as long as you can.”
The retirement home said Hackman still attends daily happy hours with her friends and closely follows her favorite sports team, the Cincinnati Bengals.
Happy 106th Birthday Flo! Thank you for being a role model of kindness and gratitude. And special thank you to your loving family for sharing you with us and the world.
