Quarry Resident celebrates 100th birthday!

9/20/2017

​Meet our first resident to celebrate her 100th birthday at Wesley Housing! Maxine resides at Quarry Station in Manassas, Virginia and has been there since its opening in July of 2002. She was born September 15th, 1917 in Iowa and has two children, six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. 

While this significant milestone is important, she might be most famous around Quarry for her fudge. We hear people stand in line for it. Maxine also loves socializing with the other residents over coffee time and then taking long strolls around the property. As an avid cook and baker, she thoroughly enjoys gardening with her daughter and will often use ingredients from the garden to cook.

In honor of Maxine's birthday, Wesley threw a luau. Manassas Mayor, Harry Parrish, was there to celebrate as well. The residents got together, danced, and shared wonderful stories about her warming personality, sense of humor, and positive spirit. Afterall, Maxine once joked that her secret to a long life was eating pinecones.

Brenda, our Senior Services Coordinator, said afterward, “The party was great.  We had so much fun.  She is such a wonderful person and great role model for others.”
