| | | | | | Long-time Lafayette resident Mary Riggio celebrated her 100th birthday May 12 at a senior residence in Walnut Creek. Riggio emigrated from Italy to the Bay Area 80 years ago and lived at her home in central Lafayette for more than 40 years. In her younger days, she was a seamstress, gardener and avid cook - she was especially known for her Christmas cookies that were a work of art as well as delicious. In her early senior years, she was a member of the Lafayette senior group and enjoyed traveling. Family gatherings include four great-grandchildren, four grandchildren, her two sons Danny and Vito, and their wives Barbara and Shirley.
