Goldie and Stanley Carnes celebrated their 74th
wedding anniversary surrounded by family and friends at Ashford Court in
Westland, where they’ve lived for the past year. The Homestead staff and Life Enrichment team
decided to pull out all the stops to give them a party to remember. As many as 20 family members came from near
and far. There was cake, balloons and
dancing. Entertainment was supplied by
“Family Affair,” a church group band of musicians, all over 70 years old.
Goldie and Stanley were married on April 25, 1942. They met when Stanley was a taxi driver and
Goldie stepped into his cab for a ride.
As they say, the rest is history. They were married in their home in
Kentucky in a small ceremony that was officiated by Goldie’s uncle who happened
to be a judge. She was 17 years old and
he was 19. Together they have seven
children, 13 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren. They lived in Taylor, Michigan most of their
lives.
Goldie remains involved with the activities and fundraising projects at Ashford Court.
Congratulations to Goldie and Stanley on their 74th anniversary!
