WORCESTER - The City of Worcester honored a local woman with a key to the city in celebration of her 100th birthday.
Ruth Jakubiak is a resident at Holy Trinity Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
Family and friends gathered outside her room with flowers, signs, and balloons.
District 1 City Councilor Sean Rose presented the key and, of course, practiced social distancing.
“I think it just shows to families and Ruth and residents in the city, in this new normal, in this new reality that we're going to do whatever we can and as safely as we can to provide the same type of resources and assistance and celebrations that we normally would," Rose said.
Ruth will "officially" celebrate her 100th birthday on Tuesday, May 26th.
