Celebrating 70 Years of Love

Garraway Hall, Moncton N.B., residents Dora and Art Cuthbertson’s love story began 71 years ago when a friend introduced them while Art was serving in the army. A year later, on May 28, 1955, they got married.

When asked what kept their love strong, Dora laughs and says, “We always have our separate space and respect that about each other.” Her advice for couples? “Respect each other’s time, and differences, and give each other space to be yourselves.”

They’ve cherished many memories including the birth of their two children in France and travels while stationed around the world. Their love grew into a family with five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Now newly settled at Garraway Hall in Moncton, N.B., they are thankful to still be together, enjoying their private sitting room and joining in community life. “That is the greatest blessing for us,” they shared.

Though they admit that life hasn’t always been easy, they agree on one thing: “We had a good life, and we are so grateful for every minute of it.”
