BOARDMAN, Ohio - Birthday wishes were in order Saturday afternoon in Boardman, as Louise Joerndt turned 91 years old. 

After being told to step outside so a few neighbors could sing happy birthday, she was surprised by the Boardman Fire Department along with more than 15 cars waving and honking to wish her well. 

"I didn't hear happy birthday, but I heard a lot of horns honking," Louise said. "But it's all good and thank you, everybody, for giving me this special day today." 

Louise's daughter, Anna, who organized the event, said all of the planning leading up to the surprise was worth it. 

"She deserves it," said Anna. "She's a great role model and we really enjoy having her."
