“#102-year-old with ‘iron will to live’ survives COVID \u2014 twice<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

A 102-year-old New York woman who lived through the 1918 Spanish Flu and overcame cancer survived not only one \u2014 but two bouts with the coronavirus. <\/p>\n

Angelina Friedman \u2014 a Westchester County nursing home resident\u00a0with \u201can iron will to live\u201d \u2014 battled COVID-19 back in March, as well as in October, her daughter told WPIX-TV. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s not the oldest to survive COVID, but she may be the oldest to survive it twice,\u201d Joanne Merola told the outlet<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The centenarian was born Angelina Sciales on Oct. 18, 1918, on a ship taking immigrants from Italy to the Big App<\/a>le in the midst of the influenza, Merola said.<\/p>\n

Friedman\u2019s mother died in childbirth on the ship, and she was raised with the help of her two sisters.<\/p>\n

Her father later joined Friedman and her 10 siblings in America and the family settled in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was one of 11 children,\u201d Merola said. \u201cShe\u2019s the last one surviving.\u201d<\/p>\n

She later married a man named Harold Friedman, and the couple both battled cancer later in life \u2014 though Angelina was the only one who survived the disease.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s now a resident of North Westchester Restorative Therapy and Nursing Center in Mohegan Lake, and has lost most of her hearing and vision, though not her energy, Merola said.<\/p>\n

Friedman first tested positive for COVID-19 in March, when she was still 101-years-old.<\/p>\n

She spent a week in the hospital before being sent back to her room at the nursing home, where she quarantined.<\/p>\n

After running a fever on and off for several weeks, Friedman tested negative for the virus on April 20, and her daughter told PIX11 at the time that \u201cMy mother is a survivor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe survived miscarriages, internal bleeding and cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Six months later, Merola heard her mom had been diagnosed with COVID-19 again and was experiencing symptoms such as fever and a dry cough.<\/p>\n

Friedman went back into isolation until Nov. 17, when she tested negative, her daughter said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only has she beaten COVID at 101, she\u2019s beaten it at 102,\u201d Merola said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
