NORTH HILLS, N.Y. (PIX11) – A resident of an assisted living facility on Long Island will be celebrating her "21st" birthday this upcoming Leap Day.

Lotte Higgins was born 84 years ago on Feb. 29, 1940 – a Leap Day. Therefore, she celebrates her "real birthday" once every four years when it's a Leap Year.

Higgins is a resident of the Bristal Assisted Living Community in North Hills in Nassau County.

The Bristal plans to hold a "Roaring Twenties"-themed party to celebrate Higgins’ birthday on Thursday.

Higgins grew up in Middle Village, Queens. She graduated from Newtown High School in Queens in 1957 and then attended Hunter College, according to The Bristal.
