Malden resident celebrates a century

Malden resident Esther Carducci recently celebrated 100 years young! Mayor Gary Christenson surprised her with a citation in recognition of her milestone birthday at last week’s St. Rocco’s Anniversary Event. A lifelong Maldonian, Esther has been a fixture at every St. Rocco’s Feast for decades – volunteering and celebrating with family and friends. She now enjoys spending time with her three children, Albert, Susan and Jimmy, her four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She also does a lot of cooking, gardening and playing Bingo. Esther credits “keeping active” as the key to her longevity.
