Dolores Mielnicki celebrated turning 100 years old on Monday with the birthday basics: her family, balloons, cake and a celebratory community parade.
Mielnicki, who is a Navy veteran, was also honored during two pinning ceremonies for her service during WWII.
âJust to be able to celebrate her and her life is a huge deal to us,â said Brittany Boles, executive director of Family Ministries Retirement and Assisted Living in Limestone.
Mielnicki joined the Navy toward the end of WWII. She served as a radioman and helped take and send messages in Morse code.
âSheâs very proud of her service, and sheâs more than happy to tell anyone who will listen that women are veterans too,â said Carol Walden, Mielnickiâs daughter.
