On August 14, 1913 Adelina began her life in Malta.
At 46-years-old she moved to Australia, settling in Warrawong where she cultivated a happy and comfortable life for her growing family - and did her family grow.
Adelina is now the proud mother of nine children: six daughters and three sons.
Living beyond a century has its benefits - Adelina now enjoys a family of 70 extending to grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.
Adelina's one wish for her 102nd birthday was "to be with all the family," she said.
One of her granddaughters, Chris Matesic, said Adelina "has lived a very happy life". "She has a lot of family around her and that is what is keeping her going."
