Vavenby senior gets surprise birthday party

Friends and family showed up at Vavenby resident Mary Johnson’s home to celebrate her 86th birthday

A lot of friends and most of the family showed up at long time Vavenby resident Mary Johnson’s home on Friday, July 19, to celebrate her 86th birthday with her.

Due to the warm temperature outside the party was moved indoors.

The surprise party was organized by Fay Jones. She also baked the cake.

Those attending brought finger foods for everyone to enjoy.

There was a wide variety to choose from as well as juice, coffee, and tea. Johnson received cards and gifts from those present. Her grandson, Andrew McCoy, handed them to her.

Johnson was very surprised with the party and very happy. She had earlier said that she did not want a party this year and she definitely had not expected to see her children and grandchildren. She greatly enjoyed visiting with everyone.
