LITTLE EGG HARBOR – Love is all around at Seacrest Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center, where residents Donald and Teresa Pregler recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. Team members at the Little Egg Harbor skilled nursing facility joined the special pair and their two daughters in festivities for the milestone occasion.
The Preglers have called Seacrest home for close to a year. “Donald and Teresa are such a joy to have here with us,” said Seacrest’s Jacqueline Phillips, director of community relations. “It was our true pleasure to celebrate this anniversary with them and their family.”
The Preglers’ love story began when Donald was on leave from military service and met Teresa and her friends one evening. Always a gentleman, Donald offered them a ride; Teresa sat next to him and the rest, as they say, is history. Donald’s career as a traveling salesman offered the pair the opportunity to travel the U.S. and Canada, making many lasting memories.
When asked their secret to 70 years of wedded bliss, the reply from Donald comes quickly. “Simple,” he said. “We love our life!”
Located at 1001 Center Street, Seacrest Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center is a 171-bed skilled nursing facility, providing post-hospital care, short-term rehab and long-term residential care. The facility, which is in the midst of a multi-million-dollar enhancement, carries a five-star designation from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for both overall quality and quality of resident care.
