Mary Childress
Celebrates 100th Birthday
The Methodist Church at Campbellsville
was the scene of a birthday party for Mrs. Mary Childress, Sunday evening
from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Well over a hundred friends, relatives, and neighbors
stopped by to wish her a happy 100th birthday. Many left presents, a money
tree filled with $$$$, and best wishes. When asked what she attributed
to her long life, she said "well, I just don't know". Her son, Lewis, spoke
up and said "it was probably those beans, potatoes, pork chops, and corn
bread that did it". Most of you will remember Miss. Mary from school days,
as she worked in the CHS lunch room for about 11 years. I can still remember
that delicious pineapple upside-down cake she used to make, and how I tried
to go back for seconds. I believe she is the oldest living resident
of Campbellsville at this time. She now resides with her son, Lewis and
wife Bunnie who live on Rose Hill.
I stopped by to see Aunt
Mary again on Wednesday, January 30 (her actual birthday) to visit and
to bring her a freshly picked bouquet of butter cups. She had a great time
at the party and thanks everyone for coming by to see her.
