Anna Flanigan celebrates her birthday every year with her son, Gary, and her closest relatives complete with a cake and a rendition of "Happy Birthday." This year was no different with one exception, the coronavirus pandemic. Her family showed up to celebrate her 92nd birthday Tuesday but this year they sang "Happy Birthday" through masks while social distancing in front of her residence at Schwartz Towers in Auburn. Despite COVID-19 it was a happy birthday after all.
