Published October 18 We are thrilled to share a heartwarming story of love and connection that unfolded at LIFE Beaver County. Last week we had the honor of witnessing the beautiful commitment ceremony of two incredible individuals, Vince Lack and Mary De La Cruz. These lovebirds met right here at the Center three years ago and have since embarked on a remarkable journey together. LIFE Beaver Center Director, Don Schamberg, served as the officiant for their special day, weaving their tale into a narrative that captures the essence of their love story. Mary, with her vibrant spirit and infectious positivity, was sitting at the lunch table when LIFE Beaver staff cheerfully inquired, “Good morning Mary, what do you want?”, (meaning what do you want for lunch today.) Mary, without missing a beat, replied, “A good man… I want a good man.” Little did she know that fate had a wonderful surprise in store for her. In an unexpected twist, the employee gestured towards Vince, who happened to be sitting in the next room, and said, “Vince is a good man… why don’t you get to know him?” From that moment, a spark ignited between them, leading to a friendship that bloomed into a beautiful romance and, ultimately, a deeply committed partnership Amidst the love and support of our LIFE Beaver County family, Vince and Mary promised to stand by each other through thick and thin. Join us in congratulating Vince and Mary on this significant milestone in their lives. Cheers to Vince and Mary! May their love continue to grow, and may their days be filled with joy, laughter, and endless love. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and adventures together! 4,425 Accounts reached 1,803 Post engagements 284 Reactions 42 Comments 13 Shares Happy 100th Birthday Dorothy Kennedy!

Dorothy was at her home when she was greeted by a 21 car parade, including the LIFE Lawrence bus, local police and some of her closest family and friends! “Oh my goodness!” a shocked Dorothy said at the site of all the cars honking as they pulled up to her house. The LIFE Lawrence team brought banners and balloons to decorate.
