A suburban woman is marking a milestone many of us may never reach: 107 years old. Nancy Rossi, born April 10, 1918, in Chicago, has lived through two world wars, the Spanish flu, and 19 different U.S. presidents. But it’s her passion for dancing that she credits with keeping her youthful.

"When I hear music, my feet does not stay still. I think dancing is the happiest thing in the world and it's good for you because it's exercise," Rossi said. Rossi, a mother of two, is the matriarch of both her immediate and extended families. She remains an active part of the community, crocheting daily gifts for others. Her favorite treat? 15-20 mini Tootsie Rolls, though she gives them up during Lent.
