Birthday ladies celebrate 100 years

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.”
