Doris Adams, left, and granddaughter Laurie Frazier, of New Hampshire, visit at a gathering for Doris’ 100th birthday party Friday at the Hollywood Restaurant in Cortland. Relatives came from Houston, Colorado and Florida to celebrate.
Doris Brown Adams’ 100th birthday was like any other day.
“It’s no different,” she said.
But her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren made it special.
Jan Karlson, her daughter, came from Ohio, for a party Friday — Adams’ birthday — in a banquet room at the Hollywood Restaurant.
The Groton Nursing Home resident got to see her family in person, thanks to easing of COVID-19 restrictions and more people being vaccinated. Karlson got approval to take her mom to the party near the end of April.
