If a wedding anniversary cake is in order, it will have 75 candles.
Maple Crest Senior Living Village’s oldest married couple, Luther and Geneva Shetler, celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary on Dec. 22.
It was on Dec. 22, 1940, Luther, then 23, and Geneva, 21, were married at the Eighth Street Mennonite Church, Goshen, Ind.
They met at Goshen College when Luther was a junior and Geneva a freshman. Luther recalls that he was aware of a beautiful blond girl on campus, but that he had no reason to be connected with her group of friends.
