SHELTON - Residents and staff at the Wesley Village senior living campus gathered Dec. 4 to celebrate Christina Sudol’s 100th birthday.
Sudol, a resident in the Lifestyle Transitions neighborhood on the campus, was the first person to move in to the new wing, which was opened in January 2015.
Staff from across the campus joined in the celebration and sent birthday wishes through 100 greeting cards, which were presented to Sudol by Lifestyle Transitions program director Lisa Kelleher.
“We’ve been collecting cards from everyone – staff, residents, family and friends. Students from Park City Magnet School in Bridgeport even sent a bundle of handmade cards for Christina,” Kelleher said. “She was delighted!”

“I’m not 100,” Sudol argued, with a smile.
“How about 50 x 2?” Kelleher suggested, to which Sudol agreed.
Along with the birthday cards, the festivities included a beautiful birthday cake and Sudol’s favorite musical tunes: big band, classical, and Frank Sinatra.
Wesley Heights Resident Services Coordinator Donna Brice also surprised Sudol, a dog lover, with a visit from her dog, Jonah, a Shih-Poo.
Sudol received a proclamation from Mayor Mark Lauretti, recognizing her 100th year and sending her best wishes. Before cutting her cake, she stopped to thank her guests and enjoyed the afternoon, posing for birthday photos and reading her many birthday cards.
“It was a big party,” she told her daughter.
