Five couples celebrate 266 years of marriage at Crestmont North Healthcare
On September 16, 2009 Mary Ann and John Babiak celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary at Crestmont North Healthcare in Lakewood. Four more couples also celebrated anniversaries. They were Betty and Don Wilson, married on September 4, 1945; Ethel and Bob Smith, married on November 20th, 1948; Dee and Herb Browarsky, married on December 19, 1948; and Denise and Bob Strelau who were married on January 13th, 2000.
The couples, family members and residents of Crestmont North danced to the music of Joel Scigliano, while they enjoyed wedding cake decorated with fresh flowers. Silver and gold were the colors of the room with fall mums accenting the tables. During a toast to the couples it was said that, "The greatest thing about all of these couples is that they are all still very much in love." They light up when the other spouse arrives daily to visit their spouse who resides at Crestmont. They are in inspiration to today's youth and prove that with a little committment marriages can last a lifetime and couples can live, "happily ever after."
