Tofield Resident Mary Brown Celebrates 102nd Birthday Crazy Laws Bicyclists in Mexico better keep their feet firmly on the pedals, hands on the handlebars, and eyes forward or risk a fine for riding recklessly.
Al & Marg Brown Submitted Mary Brown celebrated her 102nd birthday with all of her lodge “friends” at the Tofield Seniors Citizens Lodge on Wednesday, February 2. Many of her family, including her three senior citizen children (Lynn, Allan and Judy), were able to join her that afternoon for a smaller celebration. Mary was born on February 2, 1920 in Govan, Saskatchewan. She grew up and went to school in Calgary where she met and married her husband Roy. Mary and Roy moved to Kelowna in 1968 where Roy worked for White Truck and Mary worked for Mildred’s Women’s Wear. After Roy passed away, she moved to Tofield in 1997 to be nearer to family and where she lived in the “old hospital apartments”. In 2009 she moved into the lodge and now considers it her home. She considers both the staff and the other residents as her “lodge friends” and was adamant that she be able to celebrate her birthday with them. During her life Mary was an avid curler and to this day she loves to watch curling
on TV. She also floor curled here in Tofield until deciding to retire at 100. In the opinion of her family, it is her positive caring attitude, her sense of humour and constant smile that has kept her young all these years. She has three children, nine grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren who she loves and who love her in return.
