TWO HARBORS, MN -- Celebrating a century of life calls for one big party, even if it's during a pandemic.

Alice Iverson, of Two Harbors, turned 100 years old Tuesday.

Dozens of cars with signs and balloons lined the street outside her home honking and waving to celebrate her big day.

Family says Iverson is one of the last remaining female World war two veterans, and she joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1943.

The community really wanted to make her day special.

"You know, Two Harbors is such a great little town anyway, and everybody knows Alice. She's been so active through her entire life from being president of the Vets club, so it's great to see everyone honor her this way," Mark Laiti, Alice Iverson's nephew, said.

The parade was organized by members of the United Methodist Church, which is where Alice attends church.
