At 102, Rita Georgeff has already crossed an item off her bucket list. Now, her wish for her 103rd birthday is much simpler. “I reach my birthday, actually,” Georgeff said with a laugh when asked what she wants for her next birthday.
The lifelong resident of Windsor, Ontario’s Sandwich Town neighborhood, turned 102 on August 28. Just days later, on Sept. 1, she fulfilled a wish that had been waiting for years: walking across the newly opened Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Windsor and Detroit, according to CTV News.
