SHELBY TOWNSHIP — A Shelby Township woman celebrated her 99th birthday last month without setting off a smoke alarm at Hamlin Pub in Shelby Township Nov. 30.
Jean Moeller celebrated in style at Hamlin Pub in Shelby Township with family and friends.
Jean Parrott-Moeller was a valedictorian of Warren High School in 1943. Jean and the late Herb Moeller met in 1942 as neighbors living on the same street in Warren. Herb went off to serve in World War II. The couple married in 1945 and raised eight children.
Jean’s daughter, Garre Rae Croswell, said the party was a hit and many people attended.
“We lit 99 candles without setting off a smoke alarm. She is a fabulous cook, master gardener and keeps mentally sharp watching ‘Jeopardy!’ and ‘Wheel of Fortune’ each night. She loves music. Four generations attended and agreed she has survived just about everything. Son Rick was unable to attend but called and did FaceTime. It was a great party,” she said.
Granddaughters Nicole Kopicki and Chandra Lowe attended and helped light the candles.
“It was fun to help light 99 candles, and how amazing it is to hear stories from the past before cellphones and TV,” they said.
