Grammy's 100th Birthday Celebration

On Saturday November 20th, we celebrated the turning of a century in the life of Alice Fowler.
	This poster greeted well-wishers at the door of the Ephrata Manor Chapel. The center photo is Alice at 99. The bottom photo is Alice as a baby. To the right is Alice and her sisters with their dolls. And to the left is Alice as a young woman. Below are 2 dresses that were on display at the party. On the left is the Christening Gown that Alice wore. It was handmade by her mother and sisters. This gown has since been worn by Alice's son, several grandchildren and great-granddaughter. On the right is Alice's wedding dress. It still fits!

This quilt was created by Alice's daughter-in-law Holly for this occasion. It incorporates photos of friends and family and events in Alice's life. The back was signed by guests at the celebration.
	Family and friends came from all over to join in the celebration. Here is Alice with her 3 sons - Larry (left), Ricky (middle), and Dougie (right) with great-grandaughter Kayla.
Here is the beaming Birthday Girl surrounded by her grandchildren - back row ~ Emily & Emma front row ~ Mark, Alice, Jaymie, John
	A nice lady passing in the hallway took the group photo for us, so everybody could be in the picture. Back Row~ Robbie McCafferty, Burt Fowler, Eileen Fowler, Rick Fowler, Holly Hassett-Fowler, Emma Fowler, Mark Fowler, John Fowler, Daniel Fowler, Lorraine Fowler, David Fowler, Beth Porro, Kevin Porro Front Row~ Maria McCafferty with Bobby Jr, Emily Fowler, Juanita Fowler, Alice Fowler, Florence, Larry Fowler
Alice and her friend Edna deliver the mail to the nursing residents at the Ephrata Manor. As a tribute to Alice, her family purchased a mail cart. This will come in handy once all the Christmas cards start arriving! The cart was presented by son Larry. The director of the Manor added a special gift of a personalized baseball cap - it says "Head Mail Carrier Ephrata Manor". Alice was tickled with the gift, and as you can see it was loaded with presents and cards from her many well-wishers.
