Roberta McCain, the mother of the late Sen. John McCain, celebrated her 108th birthday on Friday.
Her granddaughter, Meghan McCain, tweeted out the news.
“Happy 108th Birthday to my nana Roberta. You are our matriarch,” the conservative co-host of ABC’s The View said. “Completely ageless, classic, lovely, strong, smart, sarcastic, irreverent and all things I love in this world. We are so grateful for you.”

McCain, 35, also shared the secret to her grandmother’s long life on The View after host Sunny Hostin asked: “Have you ever asked her what her secret is to longevity?”
“She said, ‘A sense of humor,'” Meghan McCain replied, adding that her grandmother “just loves life” and is a passionate watcher of the show.
Roberta McCain was born in Oklahoma in 1912, and she married Navy Adm. John McCain Jr. in 1933. She has over two dozen grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Roberta McCain is also a world traveler, and age has done little to slow her down. She made the trip to Europe in her 90s.
In August 2018, she attended the funeral of her son John McCain after he died at the age of 81 from a brain tumor.
