A 103-year-old Massachusetts woman who recovered from Covid-19 celebrated with a favorite drink -- a cold beer, her family told CNN.

When Jennie Stejna tested positive for coronavirus in late April, her family began preparing for the worst, granddaughter Shelley Gunn said.At one point, her family was told that Stejna had stopped eating and drinking and might not make it through the night. They called her for one last goodbye, Gunn said.When Gunn's husband, a Navy retiree, asked Stejna if she was ready to pass away, she responded"Hell yeah," according to the family.

Read MoreBut instead of a grim phone call from Stejna's nursing home, on May 8 they received the news that she had tested negative, and was symptom-free, the family said."The nurses came into her room, and she said,"I'm not sick anymore, Get the hell out,'" Gunn said.The nursing home staff honored Stejna's perseverance with one of her favorite treats -- an ice-cold beer.

You need to apologize to my governor. He was right

Metal bottle for her metal will. 🤟

She has a don't give a shit attitude...

So she'll die from alcohol consumption instead.
