She said that she seldom had the opportunity to play pool when she was younger because her brothers hogged the pool table.In her younger days, she loved to dance, but always with her clothes on, as her family was teasing her about whether she danced with them on or not."Why waste time being cold," she laughed.

Additional family members and friends also attended the party.Gina was the ultimate hostess, always asking her guests if they wanted more cake."I am so excited," she said. "There is too much excitement here."She has been a resident of Mahoning Valley Nursing and Rehabilitation Center since May 2009.
