“We are in the presence of a living legend,” exclaimed an organizer of Athena Wright’s 105th birthday, posted in a video on Facebook. The birthday lady, who lives in Pueblo Norte Assisted Living in Scottsdale, Arizona, is a decorated World War II veteran.
Although the precautionary measures due to the pandemic made organizing Athena Wright’s special day tedious, her family, friends, her assisted-living home, and the City of Scottsdale came together to make it happen.
