Ms. Donovan celebrated her 105th birthday on December 8 at McPeak’s Assisted Living with staff and fellow residents. In celebration of her birthday, they played a game of table bowling, which is Ms. Donovan’s favorite pastime at the facility. She prides herself as being a very good and very competitive table bowler. In addition to the people at the facility and other elected officials, Ms. Donovan was joined by members of her family: her son, Robert Brown, and his wife, Gloria; Jeanne Brown, the wife of Ms. Donovan’s grandson; and Jessica Brown, Ms. Donovan’s great-granddaughter.
