SHELTON - Longtime Wesley Village residents Ken and Doris Steeves celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary July 14.  

They have lived on the Shelton senior living campus since 2017. 

The couple commemorated the occasion with several special touches arranged by Wesley Village team members.

At Crosby Commons Independent and Assisted Living Community, Front Desk Manager Cathy Brelsford met Steeves as he was leaving the dining room after breakfast, all smiles and ready to visit Doris at Bishop Wicke Health Center, where she resides.

Brelsford and Steeves, who resides at Crosby Commons, posed with Maintenance Manager Jim Tomchik showing off the flowers and cake prepared for the anniversary visit. 

“It’s a big milestone," Steeves admitted with a smile. “Seventy years. Not a lot of people make it that long in a marriage. We’re grateful for each other and for the support of this campus.”


Wesley Village senior living campus at 580 Long Hill Ave. is part of United Methodist Homes, a local not-for-profit organization. 

The Wesley Village campus offers independent and assisted living, enhanced assisted living, early memory support, skilled nursing and short-term rehab. 

To learn more about Crosby Commons, Wesley Heights, Lifestyle Transitions, or Bishop Wicke Health Center, visit our website or contact us at 203-225-5024.
