Long Island's Oldest Resident to Celebrate 112th Birthday


Long Island's oldest resident will soon celebrate her 112th birthday.

The party for super-centenarian, Fannie Greenberg, will take place on Wednesday, May 24, at The Regency at Glen Cove where she has resided for the past 9 years.

A super-centenarian is defined as someone age 110 or more. According to the Gerontology Research Group, there are 83 validated living super-centenarians in the world today.

Not only is Fannie Long Island's oldest resident, she is second oldest in New York state, the 13th oldest American and the 28th oldest person in the world.

Here's how folks at The Regency at Glen Cove describe her: She is an energetic senior that makes the most of every day. An extremely stylish woman, Fannie pays careful attention to every detail of her dress. After all, it doesn't hurt to look good!

With a jaunty hat perched on her head and a stylish scarf color coordinated to her suit, Fanny epitomizes the good life of Long Island's Gold Coast
