DeLuca was born in New York on May 12, 1910. She attended court stenography school and worked as a bookkeeper when she was younger. She was also an avid gardener and still enjoys listening to music and singing, especially patriotic songs.

DeLuca and her friends sang “God Bless America” and “America the Beautiful” before enjoying the all-vanilla birthday cake they baked at the center.

DeLuca offered the following words of wisdom: “Love and appreciate your family because they love you."
