Connie Titchen battled the virus for just under three weeks before she was given a clean bill of health by medics at the hospital.
The great-grandmother, from Birmingham, said: “I feel very lucky that I’ve fought off this virus. I can’t wait to see my family.”
Her granddaughter Alex Jones, said the family have come to expect the hardy grandmother to bounce back from medical ailments.
“She has had a really active life," Alex said.
"She loved to dance, cycle and play golf.
“She has always cooked for herself too, although she likes a cheeky McDonald's every now and then. I haven’t told her they are closed.
“I think the secret of her old age is that she is physically active and very independent. She had a hip operation back in December and within 30 days she was walking again.
"She really is amazing and I know all the family can’t wait to see her. She has quite a few fans."
Connie, who was born in September, 1913 and has lived through two World Wars, was admitted to City Hospital in mid-March with suspected pneumonia.
She was diagnosed with coronavirus soon afterwards.
