“In case anyone is driving around Saturday at 1:00pm, drive by 17856 Commercial, honk, and yell ‘Happy Birthday’ to my mom!” she said.

Biondi is known in the neighborhood for her green thumb, lush lawn, and array of flowers that bloom in her yard throughout the season—and also for her love of polka music, which can often be heard playing loudly in her garage.

Since she won’t be able to celebrate with a large gathering due to the COVID-19 outbreak, some of her grandchildren and great grandchildren will be joining the parade and serenading her from the yard.
