Grandma Peachey's 95th Birthday Party

On February 7, 2009, Grandma Peachey celebrated her 95th birthday. A party/openhouse was scheduled for her between the hours of 2:00 - 4:00 PM. Invitations were sent to her friends and relatives. An announcement was placed in the County Observer, Belleville, PA alerting her friends of a card shower for her.






Grandma was surprised that her sister, Aunt Nora was able to attend the party and spend a week visiting with her. Dee Swartz, Chaplain at Greencroft is pictured with Grandma and Aunt Nora




Grandma's second cousin, Wes Zook, serenaded her with a harmonica rendition of Happy Birthday.


Lois and Roy Hartzler greeted Grandma. Roy's Mother, Ellie Hartzler was a good friend of Grandma. Both Ellie and Grandma traveled back to Belleville numerous times.















Opal Vance was a neighbor to Grandma when she lived in Greencroft Manor III.

Kay Yutzy is a special friend to Grandma. She visits Grandma every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Kay has been helpful to and a constant contact with Grandma when we travel.

Grandma was indeed surprised at the number of persons who attended her party. Once when were planning the party, she said, "What if no one will come?" People did come as the next pictures note. Also, staff from Healthcare who care for her were there.

Grandma appreciated the cards that she has received, which number more than 120 to date. It was a good day for her and she enjoyed the interaction with everyone.
