Two seniors celebrated significant
birthdays on Mar. 24 at Chateau Mission Court in St. Albert. Mary Melik is now 100 and Hazel Manning had
her 102nd birthday earlier this month. More than 50 guests and
family members gathered in the lodge with St. Albert Mayor Nolan Crouse to congratulate both ladies.
“It’s almost
unbelievable really, I just don’t feel like I’m this age,” said Hazel. “I don’t
have any secrets, I just got to be 102 years old,” she laughed. “I think you
just have to take one day at a time. I love working crossword puzzles, I started
years and years ago.
And I have many friends,
we enjoy getting together.”

on behalf of the City of St. Albert.
