A tough-as-nails 100-year-old woman dubbed a “boomerang” has more lives than a cat.
Rose Heely, who survived two heart attacks and conquered scarlet fever, diphtheria and whooping cough, among other medical crises, has now given the heave-ho to the coronavirus, South West News Service reports.
“She is delighted to be back home. She’s our little boomerang — she never fails to come back with a vengeance,” the British centenarian’s granddaughter Tracey Appleyard, 49, told the news outlet.
