Grace Kenyon turned 100 years old in June and the COA staff and her fellow knitting club members celebrated her with cupcakes and flowers!

 

She was featured in our November 2020 Messenger as our own local "Rosie the Riveter" because of her work at a General Motors plant in Grand Rapids where she smoothed out rivets on planes being built for the war effort during the 1940's.  

 

Grace also enjoys playing Bingo at the COA and has also participates in our SEAT fitness class. While participating with the knitting/crocheting club, Grace creates a variety of crochet items and is particularly proud of making lap robes that are donated to local Veterans. Thank you Grace for your lifetime of support and patriotism; we are blessed to have you part of our community and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
