Mayor Barry Conaway celebrated 103-year-old Muriel Holmes' birthday; see it today (4/24) on ABC and CBS News between 4 pm and 6 pm.
Today, Wednesday, April 24 at 11:30 am – more than 50 residents celebrated Masonic Village’ s four resident centenarians (Elizabeth Burke & Nellie Barrett-101; Martin Gutchigan, 102 and Muriel Holmes, 103) with a luncheon in the Bistro and lots of balloons. Burlington City Mayor Barry Conaway was on hand to congratulate the “youngsters.” (Watch ABC and CBS News between 4 and 6 this afternoon to catch the Mayor's interview and story.)
The resident whose actual birthday it was – Muriel Holmes who turned 103 -prides herself on good health her whole life and thanks her mother for taking care of herself so she gave birth to a healthy baby -which was not so common in 1921 when medical advances were not as available. Her grandmother taught her how to cook and home cooked meals she thinks are also the key to good health.
Mayor Conaway quoted an African proverb in his remarks: "When we respect our elders, we respect ourselves and our own futures."
It is no secret that people are living longer these days. But according to a report by the United States General Accounting Office (GAO), seniors who choose to live in retirement communities live 1.5 to 2 years longer than seniors who choose to retire in their homes.
In fact, seniors are 22% more likely to live longer and lead more fulfilling lives if they're given the chance to socialize with others. Research points out seniors who are more active have stronger immune systems, have low risks of dementia, and tend to live longer. And that is why Masonic Village at Burlington takes every opportunity to celebrate them.
“We pride ourselves in providing each of our residents the opportunity to live a quality life here with many activities, attention to keeping them healthy and simply treating them with respect and care like they are a member of our own family.” remarks Masonic Village Executive Director Anda Durso. Masonic Village has a long history of celebrating their centenarians—in 2005, they celebrated a resident who had just turned 110! ... See MoreSee Less
