103 Year Old Massachusetts Woman Chugs A Beer In Her Hospital Bed After Beating The Shit Out Of Coronavirus

Source - EASTON, Mass. – Shelley Gunn describes her Polish grandmother, Jennie Stejna, as having a feisty spirit. Stejna certainly displayed that spirit as the 103-year-old woman recently survived a bout with the coronavirus.

Three weeks ago, Gunn said Stejna was the first to test positive for coronavirus in her nursing home. She had a low-grade fever and was moved to a separate ward.

Stejna didn’t really grasp or understand COVID-19, Gunn said, but did know she was very ill. Gunn said there was always a staff member by her side. As Stejna’s condition worsened, Gunn said they called to say what they thought were their final goodbyes. She thanked Stejna for everything she had done for her. When Adam asked whether Stejna was ready to go to heaven, she replied, “Hell yes.”

But on May 13, Gunn said she got good news — Stejna had recovered.

“This feisty old Polish grandmother of ours officially beat the coronavirus,” Shelley's husband, Adam Gunn, said.

The staff gave Stejna an ice cold Bud Light to celebrate, something she loved but hadn’t had in a long time, Gunn said. Stejna was the first resident in the nursing home to recover. They still have 33 cases of coronavirus, Gunn said.

Alright I'm done. I'm also happy for Stenja even though she said "hell yeah" when her grandson asked if she was ready to go to heaven. Women like her need to stick around as long as possible. Think about the life she's lived being on earth for 103 years? The things she's seen. The people she's known. The experiences she's had. She's raised generations of humans. Seen births, deaths, weddings, graduations, tragedies, milestones, you name it. The history she's experienced blows my mind. Anyway, here's a little background on her…

Stejna has lived all her life in Massachusetts. Her husband, Teddy, died in 1992 at age 82. Married in 1938, they were together for 54 years.

She was an avid bingo player, enjoyed reading and loved to crochet until she got arthritis. Gunn said she has quite a few blankets Stejna made. She is also a “hardcore Boston sports fan.”

“She used to sit outside and listen to the Red Sox on the radio,” Gunn said.

Stejna has two children, three grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren, Gunn said.

Of course she's from Massachusetts. Congrats on the recovery Stenja. Be sure to knock a few back, you deserve it.
