Happy 100th Birthday!

Mary "Bernice" Frame celebrated her 100th birthday on Friday, April 22nd.  She grew up on a farm in Victor, NY and enjoyed playing with the neighbor children and chasing the chickens!  Her grandfather would pick them up in his horse and buggy and drop them off at the school on Main Street in Victor.  Bernice attended hairdressing school and worked in Rochester for awhile.  She eventually took a job in Victor as a switchboard operator where she was happy to be able to walk to work.

Together with her sister, they loved to dance, and attended every dance they could.  Her brother in law set her up with his cousin, Mark, and the rest was history.  They were married in 1947 at St. Patrick's Church in Victor.  They had five children and they all grew up in Victor.  A very exciting time for Bernice, was when she met President Reagan at a White House Christmas Party.  Bernice will also be featured on the Today Show's Smucker's Celebration of her 100th birthday.

We are happy to have been a part of her 100th birthday celebration here at Clark Meadows.  When asked what the secret to making it to 100 was, she said simply "just be a good person."
