Embracing Activity for a Health Life

The Magnificent Four, Parkland on Eglinton West

Four inspiring residents, all active bridge players aged 100 to 103, attribute their longevity to staying physically and mentally active. Audrey Hines and Ruth Wilson are 103, Fred Schneider is 101, and Kathy Strausz recently turned 101.

Audrey walks daily, plays bridge, and participates in stretching classes. Ruth stays active with church, knitting, and furniture reupholstering. Fred, a former golfer, keeps sharp with puzzles and bridge. Kathy enjoys painting and stays mentally engaged through bridge. Their dedication to an active lifestyle is an inspiration to all at Parkland!

Amy Gaudett, Parkland Saint John

Amy’s 100th birthday was celebrated with a “debutante-theme” party, live music, and a gathering of family, friends, and team members. The event featured beautiful flowers, heartfelt wishes, and was made even more special by Amy’s spirit of gratitude.

Bernice Isnor, Moody Hall

Bernice is 104 years young! A nurse before becoming a full-time mother, she continued her career after her children left home, retiring at 65. She enjoys it when family visits her at Moody Hall and has fond memories of knitting and doing crosswords.

Leota Weldon, Monarch Hall

Leota celebrated her 102nd birthday with one of her favourite things, a special visit from the pet therapy team, Elaine and Grace the Doxie. Leota was thrilled to receive a framed photo from the day. The smile on her face says it all!
