Aberdeen Heights
Residents are key to delicious treats SEPTEMBER 2023
A celebration across generations On August 23rd, Doris Thomas celebrated a big milestone with the calendar marking her 100th birthday. But the real celebration came a few weeks earlier, on August 5th, as the family all gathered to celebrate Doris’s special occasion.
Our residents recently enjoyed making a very tasty No Bake Eclair Cake. Sylvia Suba was in charge of adding the milk. Residents took turns mixing everything together, and Janet Lengyel enjoyed eating the delicious dessert! We had a fun time in this Creative Cooking class. This was the perfect dessert to enjoy on a hot summer day!
Doris married her husband Randall in 1942, and they celebrated 73 years of marriage until his passing in 2015. They had three children - Beverly, Randy, and Becky, eight grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild who is new to the family. “She loves her family,” said Doris’ daughter Becky Kellerman. “And she’ll get to meet her great-great-grandchild this weekend for the first time.” Doris offered a little advice for all the youngsters out there. “Finish your schooling as much and as far as you can, and be a part of the community,” Doris said. Becky said her mom has always been social, volunteering with her church, and with Meals on Wheels. Since moving to Aberdeen Heights, Doris has remained active in group activities. “She’s an avid Bridge player, and I’m told she still plays a mean hand of Bridge,” Becky said. “She plays with a group of ladies at least once a week. She learned to play with her brother and parents as a pretty young child.
