Two PACE clients reach 101 milestone

Archdiocese of New Orleans (CCANO), recently celebrated their 101st birthdays. First was Dorothy “Dot” Henderson Booker, right photo, center wearing crown, who celebrated her centennial-plus birthday on April 11 with family and friends gathered at the Shirley Benson Landry PACE in New Orleans. She is a lifelong jazz fan.








A month later during “Older Americans’ Month” in May, Mabel Beasley, a trained nurse (photo to the left and top right photo) was honored with a party at Hope Haven Center joined by her sister – who turns 100 later this year – daughter, granddaughters and other family members, along with Catholic Charities Archdiocese New Orleans CEO and president Marianite Sister Marjorie Hebert (top photo, second from left, and right photo top row far right). Family members described both celebrants as very religious and credit their faith with their longevity. Beasley also credits garlic bologna and Coke in helping her surpass the centennial mark.
