The Tinley Park Citizens Volunteer committee celebrated the milestone age for resident Ann Herbach.
TINLEY PARK, IL — Ann Herbach, a 100-year-old Tinley Park woman, had her milestone birthday celebrated in style last weekend. Members of the Tinley Park Citizens Volunteer Committee, including Village Trustee Michael Glotz and Village Clerk Kristin Thirion, delivered the new centenarian a birthday cake and sang "Happy birthday" to mark the occasion.
It was an "honor" for the volunteer committee to do so, Glotz said. Committee member Colleen Sullivan provided the cake and cupcakes for the group, he added.
The cake was delivered on Sunday, while Herbach's actual 100th birthday came on Monday.
