A love story decades in the making

Marjorie and Bernie, who had lived long and full lives with previous spouses, unexpectedly found love in their retirement community. According to GWR, their story began at a costume party, where they connected instantly. Their relationship flourished over shared meals and participation in community activities. Despite attending the University of Pennsylvania during the same era, they never crossed paths until decades later.

Bernie’s granddaughter, Sarah Sicherman, told The Jewish Chronicle, expressing the family’s joy: “It’s amazing to see them so happy and thriving together at this stage of life.”

Secret to their longevity and joy

Both Marjorie and Bernie credit simple routines for their longevity. Marjorie believes in the power of buttermilk, while Bernie attributes his well-being to staying informed and reading extensively. Their shared humor and intellectual connection are key to their enduring bond.

Sarah told GWR, “They both had 60-plus years of marriage to their first spouses and found love again at 100 years old. It’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.”

Marjorie and Bernie’s story resonates as a beacon of hope, showing it’s never too late to find love and companionship. Their union is not just a record-breaking achievement but a celebration of life’s enduring possibilities.
