Journey

harold and lorraine thibodeau

a road measured by love For local residents Harold and Lorraine Thibodeau, 1941 was a special year. Harold tap-danced into Lorraine’s heart. 74 years later, and many meals shared together, they’re still happily married. “The key to our long and happy life is celebrating family and gathering around the dinner table,” Lorraine said.

For decades the Thibodeaus owned a talent agency and helped others find meaningful work. They always cherished working as a team and having dinner together at the end of the day. Now in their 90’s, it’s nearly impossible to cook on their own. Receiving Meals on Wheels enables Harold and Lorraine to continue enjoying dinner at home, independently.
