Kathryn Van Dyke of Bluffton just made history – she is the first Maple Crest resident to celebrate her 100th birthday while living at Maple Crest.
On Feb. 3, 2013, Kathryn turned 100 and celebrated with her family. The photo of Kathryn was taken during the Maple Crest monthly birthday party held on Feb. 8.
Kathryn was the seventh of 11 children. She seems to have been born with the family gene for long life. Her mother lived into her 90s, and her two living sisters are 93 and 106 (Elva Huffman).
