Family and friends gathered Sunday at the Pillars Event Center in Taylorville to celebrate the 90th birthday of former Taylorville businesswoman Betty Rose.
Rose owned and operated a furniture store in Taylorville for some 32 years, and told Regional Radio News that her daughter Diane Scarpaci pulled off the surprise event.
Daughter Diane told Regional Radio News it was quite a feat to keep the event a surprise for her mom.
Rose operated from a couple of different downtown Taylorville locations in her 32 years in business.
