Jennie Stejna, a 103-year-old woman from Massachusetts, has
celebrated her recovery from COVID-19, the disease caused by coronavirus, with an
ice cold beer.
According to TMZ, Adam Gunn, Stejna’s grandson-in-law,
revealed that the centenarian was diagnosed with the novel disease three weeks
ago after which she took ill.
The development, Gunn explained, left members of her family
unsettled with fears over her chances of surviving the virus.
He added that Stejna was the first to test positive for the
disease in her Wilbraham nursing home, which led to her being isolated from
others in a separate facility.
He said due to her worsening condition, Stejna’s family
members were called to give her what could be their final goodbye words.
The grandson-in-law also recalled once asking Stejna if she
was ready to go to heaven and that she replied “hell, yes!”
But on May 13, Gunn got good news that Stejna had recovered
from the virus. To celebrate her recovery, Stejna’s nursing home staff at the
Life Care Center in Wilbraham had gifted her an ice-cold beer.
In the less-than one minute video of her shared online, the
grandmother, who was helped by staff of the center, can be seen tipping the
bottle of the Bud Light before gulping part of the drink.
The excited woman was heard saying “cold,” after sipping the
beer for the first time.
Stejna, a die-hard fan of Boston Red Sox, an American
professional baseball team, lost her husband in 1992 at the age of 82.
