Ohio Woman Celebrates 106th Birthday, Credits Positive Attitude and Whiskey for Her Longevity

Ohio:A woman in Ohio, celebrating her 106th birthday at a nursing home, revealed the secret to her long life—staying positive and enjoying Fireball whiskey.

Florence Heckman, who marked the milestone with a small ceremony, shared her life philosophy with attendees: “I just try to treat people well and think only about today. What do I need to do today? That’s it.”

Heckman explained, “If you get one day, you need to focus on what you can do today. Keep moving as long as you can, and then you can think about the next day.”

Surrounded by friends, neighbors, and family who joined her birthday celebration, Florence expressed her happiness, saying she was grateful to have so many loved ones present on her special day.

Despite her age, Florence continues to stay active in the community, attending social gatherings and even supporting her favorite sports team, the Cincinnati Bengals.

Florence is also known for her love of alcohol, particularly whiskey, earning the nickname “Fireball Flo” due to her fondness for Fireball whiskey. On her 105th birthday, a whiskey company even gifted her a special collection of bottles to celebrate her fondness for the drink.

Now residing at *Traditions of Deerfield Senior Living* in Leveled, Ohio, Florence’s longevity and her unique outlook on life have made her a beloved figure in her community.
