(TROY, MI) – The Troy Mayor and City Council recently recognized
two Troy residents on the occasion of their 100th birthday.
Helen McLennan, born February 26, 1909, moved to Troy
with her husband Howard in 1957. They shared
27 wonderful years of marriage and together raised their son Grant who now
lives in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Helen attends Sunday meeting for
worship each week at the Birmingham Friends Meeting and
her other interests include meeting friends for Chair Exercises at the
Community Center three days a week. Helen
said at her age “getting up in the morning” is actually her hobby. She still likes to drive around Troy, but
never after dark, and loves the Troy Library.
Agnes
Faust, born April 9,
2009, has lived in Troy for 20 years. Agnes
worked for many years at Chrysler and as a retiree enjoys the monthly
retirement luncheons when she can brag that she is the oldest retiree in
attendance. Agnes enjoys spending quality time with her son Edward and her two
grandchildren Courtney and Ryan. A member
of St. Alan’s Catholic Church, Agnes also loves to eat and spend time
with her many friends. A great sense of
humor has helped Agnes achieve her longevity as well as doing things she loves,
such as playing pinochle and euchre each week at the Troy Community Center.
