Happy 100th birthday, Hermina!! 🎊

Yesterday, Hermina Oosterkamp celebrated her 100th birthday in a testimony to the Lord's faithfulness. In fact, His faithfulness is something of which she often reminds us. She's well known for her love for the Lord. In her own words, "I want to sing my songs for Jesus all day long."

Here are a few stories about Hermina from our staff:

"Hermina is such a blessing to all who know her at Bethany. She can be found telling anyone who walks by that "we need Jesus, all day long." 100 years and still witnessing. Happy birthday, Hermina!!" (Lisa Bauman)

"I really love to hear Hermina when she randomly sings "Jesus Loves Me" and when she repeats "Praise Jesus all the day long, all the day long." It always refocuses me and reminds me to keep my eyes and my heart on the Lord." (Daneka Akens)

Join us in wishing Hermina a very happy 100th birthday!

A century of life. A lifetime of stories. A heart full of love. Today, we celebrate Jenny Lazette turning 100 years old! 🎂

Jenny was born in Monroe, MI March 2, 1926. She was the only girl of four children born to Henry, a La-Z-Boy Supervisor and Emma, a homemaker. As a young girl Jenny loved swimming in the summer and ice skating in the winter. When not doing either of those she would fill her free time with sewing. Jenny also has many fond memories of camping as a family in the summertime. The family attended the Catholic Church and so Jenny attended Catholic schools and eventually graduating from St. Mary’s Academy. Jenny loved school and aspired to become a nun. She really enjoyed working at the church and helping the nuns.

However, God’s plans often differ from our own. Just a few months shy of entering a novitiate, life changed. Jenny was age sixteen when a young man named Kenny Lazette came into the picture. Kenny came to get a job from Jenny’s father. Well, after spending time together and with their parents’ blessing, they decided to marry. Jenny says that Kenny was just too much to say no to. So, that finished the plans to become a nun. They married in St Michael’s Catholic Church in 1945 when they were both nineteen years old. While in school Jenny worked at Kreski’s Dime Store and NABISCO. After marriage Jenny worked as a bank teller. When they started to be blessed with children Jenny became a homemaker. Altogether they had three children, Larry, Kenny, and Kevin.

In 1958 It was getting difficult for Kenny Sr to find consistent work. So, it was decided that the family would move to Southern California. What a change that was for the family! Unfortunately, there was no need for ice skates or hockey gear. As the years passed, the children grew and eventually blessed them with ten grandchildren and thirty-two great-grandchildren.

Jenny loves doing puzzles, playing card games, painting, having a cup of coffee, watching Lucielle Ball, and listening to big band music. Over the years Jenny has traveled to Niagara Falls, Colorado and gone on an Alaskan Cruise. Jenny always likes to smile and laugh, which often happens if she sees animals; but most often when she is with her family, especially her grandchildren.

National Rubber Ducky Day is celebrated annually on January 13th.
Yesterday, in honor of the Day, our residents at The Haven had some friendly competition! They held rubber duck "hunts" and exhilarating rubber duck "races". It was such a quack up to see that no matter what age, the urge to use a spray bottle on your opponent and not your target knows no limits.

Bethany would like to thank all veterans for their service today.

Residents across our campus gathered together to honor veterans in a variety of ways. At the Terraces, veterans were acknowledged in a gathering while enjoying apple pie. Independent Living residents participated in Ripon Christian's Annual Veteran's Day Celebration on Monday and gathered with Skilled Nursing residents at Ripon's Veteran's Day Ceremony today. The Haven acknowledged veterans with a Wall of Honor, which is a permanent display. The Haven hopes to keep adding photos of residents who are veterans as well as residents who have veterans as spouses. Happy Veterans' Day! 🇺🇸
