The Wesley Community in Saratoga Springs helped resident Jennie Pattist celebrate her 109th birthday Friday. The community also celebrated Philomena Oliver’s birthday who turned 100 last weekend. Hannaford helped with the festivities by supplying 109 cupcakes.

Pattist was born on a dairy farm in South Corinth and was married to her husband John for 67 years. They had two children before John passed away in 1990.

Pattist was a master gardener who loved to spend hours tending the vegetable gardens, orchards and flower beds on the family farm. The family grew much of their own food, which Pattist’s grandson attributes to her longevity.

The Wesley Community is a 36-acre non for profit agency in Saratoga Springs which serves the needs of the elderly, active seniors, adults and pediatrics. It is sponsored by United Methodist Health and Housing Inc.
