An Alabama woman rang in her 100th birthday with a party fit for a queen at the grocery store she’s been working at for nearly two decades.
Romay Davis celebrated a century of life on Tuesday at the Montgomery Winn-Dixie, where she’s worked as an associate for almost 20 years.
“Romay inspires us all to live life to the fullest and make every day a #RomayDavisDay! #CheersTo100Years,” the store wrote onInstagram.
Davis made her grand entrance to confetti and the sounds of the Park Crossing High School marching band, all while wearing a special sash that read “100 & Fabulous.”
Inside the store, she lounged on a glamorous white throne adorned with rhinestones, and was given both flowers and a special cake shaped like her age.

She also received a gift card for free groceries for a year, and a mayoral proclamation from Mayor Todd Strange that Tuesday was declared “Romay Davis Day” in the city, theMontgomery Advertiserreported.
Davis, a native of Virginia, works five days a week, and splits her time between different store locations in Montgomery, according to the outlet.
