A very special celebration was held last Sunday in Lemon Grove, as the family of Miss Elaine Griffin got together to love, honor, and appreciate her 100th Birthday.
Elaine Griffin, born Elaine Marie Jones in Denton, Texas on August 16th, 1924 when Calvin Coolidge was serving as President of the United States.
The Birthday Girl was delighted to see her family, lifelong friends, and members from her beloved Church.
“She laughed when she needed help blowing out the candles on her birthday cake and was elated when she sang, with family and friends, her favorite hymn, ‘Love Lifted Me’,” family member, Gayline Davis shared.
Event planners of the evening were the daughter of Miss Griffin, Lillian Berotte, husband Gayline Davis (Leroy Davis), and Karen Russell.
The woman of the hour was showered with plenty of attention, gifts, hugs, kisses, and most importantly, lots of love.
Cheers and many more years to the amazing quadruple-great grandmama!
