LAKEWOOD – Jeanette Mazur moved into Harrogate Retirement Community on June 26, 2003, at age 87. Most people may picture a lovely white-haired woman, living out her golden years in a dignified manner, possibly in a rocking chair. Well, they weren’t picturing Jeanette! Dignified, yes, but fun-loving and rambunctious is a better way to describe Jeanette.
Born in Irvington, New Jersey, Jeanette took college courses at Rutgers’ University. She went on to work in finance, one company was the Red Devil Tool Company. Later she married and had a family. With her constant smile and a sense of humor, she has become the unofficial granddame of Harrogate. She has amassed friends and fans who wonder at her youthful exuberance – participating in craft groups, being a puzzle aficionado, and genuinely a wonderful person.
Twenty years after moving into Harrogate, on Thursday, November 23, 2023, Jeanette turned 107 years old! Harrogate is asking people to send birthday greetings to Jeanette to congratulate her on this accomplishment. We are hoping for at least 107 cards, but more would be great. It is ironic that Jeanette’s 107th birthday is on Thanksgiving because we give thanks for her every day! Harrogate’s mailing address is 400 Locust St, Lakewood, NJ, 08701.
