The Sanford community recently gathered at Bahama Bay Club Senior Resort Living in Sanford to honor a remarkable milestone: the 102nd birthday of local resident, Dora M. Berney.
Born in 1924, Dora has been a witness to history, living through 18 U.S. Presidents, the Great Depression, and the birth of the modern digital age. Despite the vast changes she has seen over a century, her sharp wit remains her trademark. When asked about her secret to longevity, Dora jokingly credits her long life to "red wine, black olives and three Italian husbands!"
"Dora is a pillar of our community and an inspiration to everyone who meets her," says Corey Shenk, COO. "Reaching 102 is an incredible feat, but it’s the joy and spirit she brings to those around her that we are truly celebrating."
The celebration will bring together family, friends, and neighbors to recognize a lifetime of wisdom and history.
