Macomb County Senior Services hosted a heartwarming Centenarian Celebration last week, honoring 13 residents who have reached the milestone of 100 years of age or more.
Held at Macomb County’s Robert A. Verkuilen Building, Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel said the event was filled “with joy, laughter and admiration for these individuals whose lives span more than a century of history, change, and community contribution, including those who have served our country in our armed forces.
“It’s always an honor to celebrate our centenarians,” said Hackel. “They are living witnesses to history, with lives that have seen the world change in incredible ways. They are truly an inspiration to all of us in Macomb County. We are grateful to be part of such a meaningful celebration today.”
The honorees were celebrated not only for their longevity but also for their lasting impact on their families, neighborhoods and the Macomb County community. Friends and family members gathered to hear the centenarians’ stories, share in their memories, and express their deep appreciation for the wisdom and perspective these individuals have offered throughout their lives.
“We love to celebrate and honor our centenarians,” said Sheila Cote, director of the Office of Senior Services. “They bring such rich histories and wisdom. Everyone should take the time to listen and learn from our older adults.”
Among the honorees were individuals who lived through historical events like the Great Depression, served their communities in various capacities, and raised families that now span multiple generations. Each centenarian brings with them a unique story of resilience, love, and joy that has enriched Macomb County for generations.
