Marion Melon celebrated her 100th Birthday at Monrovia Community Center Tuesday morning with accolades from outgoing Mayor Rob Hammond and Father Charles during a special luncheon in her honor.
Born in Akron, Ohio, Marion survived two marriages – one of 39 years and the other of 2 1/2 – both of her husbands died of cancer.
Marion moved here to be with her best friend, Betty Stiles who always accompanies her to the senior meetings where she has been a member for 9 years and never missed a single meeting.
The New Horizons Senior Club in Monrovia honored Marion who was born May 10, 1909. Father Charles presented a letter from Cardinal Mahoney honoring the special occasion.
Marion only just recently stopped driving at the tender age of 99.
