Josephine Turchi going strong at 104
RANCHO MIRAGE — On her 104th birthday Wednesday, Josephine Turchi received one of her two wishes — to have her family together for a champagne birthday feast.
Surrounded by 104 red roses and party balloons, cameras snapped photos with her and three generations of family members, including a daughter and son, grandchildren and great-grandson, Caleb, almost 2 years old. About 30 friends and family gathered for the afternoon soiree in Rancho Mirage.
“I had no idea I would live so long,” she said, “or have a family so large.”
