SHELTON - Anne Griffin, a resident at Lifestyle Transitions at Wesley Heights, commemorated her 100th birthday earlier this month. Griffin, a former librarian at a New York City school, brings a rich variety of experiences and an abundance of spirit to the community.
Her passion for learning endures to this day, along with her ability to inspire the love of learning in others. This energetic centenarian begins each day by reading The New York Times and drinking her favorite beverage--coffee with cream. Later, she often continues reading the book she is currently engrossed in while enjoying various daily activities.
Lifestyle Transitions, an assisted living and memory care neighborhood, is part of the Wesley Heights senior living community on the Wesley Village Campus. Anne Griffin was the first resident to move into the neighborhood when it opened as a supportive memory care community nearly 10 years ago.

Since then, she has continued to enjoy good health, engages in a variety of hobbies and social events, and thrives in the nurturing, supportive environment provided by Lifestyle Transitions. Members of the community held a birthday celebration in her honor to recognize the milestone.
Happily married for 40 years to Nathaniel Griffin, who passed away in 2010, Anne Griffin has always preferred immersing herself in the printed word, exploring new places, going to the theater, and shopping for exquisite treasures. She enjoys attending church, loves reminiscing about her travels, and looks forward to experiencing new adventures. She also doesn't shy away from a good meal with a delicious dessert!
Although her husband and only sibling have passed away, Griffin still maintains a positive outlook on life that charms her friends and staff at Wesley Village. Her companionship and lively conversation make her one of the community's well- known residents.
