Mary Dishauzi

Turning 100 years old doesn't necessarily mean slowing down. Just ask Mary Dishauzi of Baden, Beaver County, who enjoys bowling, playing bingo and other games at Villa St. Joseph nursing facility.

She was born on Sept. 13, 1908, and grew up in Ambridge. She and her late husband, John Dishauzi, had four children: Dorothy DelTurco of Monaca; John of Naples, Fla.; Robert of Las Vegas; and Joseph of Ambridge. Mrs. Dishauzi also has seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

The family held a party in her honor Saturday at Villa St. Joseph.
