The family of Cecelia “Ceil” Buckley invites all friends and community members to join them at View on Sunday, January 27 in celebration of Ceil’s 100th birthday.
The party will take place from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Guests are invited to enjoy refreshments and birthday cake.
On display at the event will be five quilts handstitched by Ceil for her children and grandchildren.
Photos depicting various stages of Ceil’s life will be streamed on a laptop throughout the party.
As a lifelong quilter and longtime member of the local Pointed Pine Quilters, an award was created in her honor at last fall’s Quilts Unlimited juried quilt show.
The annual Cecelia Buckley Silver Needle Award will be presented to the individual who creates the most outstanding hand-quilted entry in the show.
In lieu of gifts, the family suggests donations to Ceil’s namesake award.
Ceil was born to Henry and Clara (Rozon) DeMoors on January 30, 1913 in a house on the corner of Beech and Birch Streets in Thendara. She is the oldest living Thendara resident.
