Celebrating Ruth Swinehart Day!
July 21, 2022
Today, July 21st, was a very special day as our very own Ruth Swinehart turned 100 years old! The mayor of Newark, Jeff Hall, even declared today as Ruth Swinehart Day in honor of this special occasion.
Ruth has been receiving visitors and cards all week long and was able to have family and friends in for a birthday party this past Sunday. During her party, her church's choir came in to sing with the piano as well. Everyone has truly made it an unforgettable birthday for her.
When we asked Ruth the obligatory question, "What is the secret to living to 100?" she laughed and said, "I think it's in my genes. It's genetic!" She explained how she was one of seven girls, and four lived well into old age. Her sister was 101 when she passed last year, and she had two other sisters that lived to 96 and 98.
Ruth Swinehart celebrates 100 with all of her friends and family!
We have loved getting to know Ruth and her family during her time as a resident here. Everyone at Arlington Care Center wishes her the happiest of hundredth birthdays! Happy birthday, Ruth!
