102-year-old NY woman survives COVID-19 twice after living through 1918 pandemic

MOHEGAN LAKE, NY — Angelina Friedman, a 102-year-old nursing home resident in Westchester County, recently survived her second bout with COVID-19, according to her daughter Joanne Merola.

"Not only has she beaten COVID at 101, she's beaten it at 102,” Merola told PIX11.

Friedman also has the unique distinction of living through two global pandemics.

During the 1918 pandemic, a baby named Angelina Sciales was born on a passenger ship taking immigrants from Italy to New York City.
