She beat the Spanish flu, and now 107-year-old New Jersey woman beat COVID-19

ASBURY PARK, NJ — Back in May, Darlene Jasmine got the phone call no one wants to receive: Her grandmother had come down with COVID-19.

At age 107.

“I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is it,’” Jasmine said. “This is the thing that’s going to take her down.”

Didn’t happen. Anna Del Priore – who is one month shy of turning 108, was born the year the Titanic sank and survived a case of the Spanish Flu a century ago – beat the coronavirus. Not only that, she’s still on her feet, walking and even dancing – to the delight of the staff at Brighton Gardens, an assisted living facility in New Jersey.
