WDRB News celebrated many birthdays with Juanita Green. Loved ones confirmed her passing this week after a battle with dementia.

Even a day early from her true birthday, March 12, the party was in true Ms. Green style, a pink party and she was dressed to impress.

WDRB photojournalist Greg Schapker takes us to the cheerful celebration at Treyton Oak Towers. 

Her wit is quick, her smile infectious, and her laugh — melts your heart.

Metro Council President David James awarded Green a proclamation citing March 12th Juanita Green Day in the city of Louisville.

You know that when the news shows up, it must be an important birthday.
