People in the town of Lapaz helped recognize a special birthday Monday.

Cindy Wingett is celebrating her 102nd birthday.

The celebration was held at Lapaz Community Church -- and it was a surprise party.

Wingett still lives on her own and visits the church every day to help serve meals and play cards.

Cindy has a few secrets to her longevity.

"Just keep active -- you can't sit there and look at that tube all the time. I make my own noodles and I do my own housework---nobody helps me," Wingett explains.

Her friends say she is an amazing woman.

"She is so efficient -- she helps me in the kitchen every day and never complains about anything," says one of Wingett's friends Jane Pesch.

Everyone at WNDU would like to wish Cindy a very happy birthday, and many more.
