WEST CHESTER, Pa. - A West Chester woman, who just celebrated her 96th birthday, gets up every morning with a pep in her step, thanks to her positive attitude and an aerobics dance class.Cecilia Yaworski began taking exercise classes with her family at ACAC Fitness and Wellness Center in West Chester a few years ago.
After turning 96 on September 13th, she's still going strong. "I'm happy," Yaworski said. "I'm really happy when I come here."Yaworski's daughter, JoAnn, says she started bringing her to the classes after Yaworski's husband passed away.
JoAnn thought it was important for her mom to have something to do while she went to work and ever since then, she's made plenty of friends and goes to class nearly everyday. "It brings her to life.
She just comes to life when she's around people. She's made friends and everyone here loves her," said JoAnn.
