On February 28, 2026 our AnnaMarie (Dr. Catherine Meeks) marked her 80th birthday. The SSAP celebrates milestone birthdays in our journey together with Godly Aging. Every year at our annual convocation we recognize members who have milestone birthdays in the year ahead and present them with a commemorative plant.

This year we had one Anna turning 65, another 70, one turning 75, and three, like AnnaMarie, celebrating 80 years. In addition one Anna became a GrandAnna with her 90th birthday! We thank God for their long lives of faith and service.

A group of Annas were able to be with AnnaMarie at a luncheon honoring her life and legacy.
