Husband,108 And wife, 105,celebrates 82 Years wedding anniversary by Lilyomi(f): 11:24am On Mar 02, 2015 |
Duranord and Jeanne Veillard were married in 1932. Together they have 5 children,12 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. The couple plan to celebrate a milestone few others will see with family, friends and well- wishers at their home, where they live with a daughter, Marie Eveillard. The son of a fisherman, Duranord Veillard was born Feb. 28, 1907, in St. Louis du Sud and grew up in Les Cayes in southern Haiti. He studied law and lived in Port-au- Prince. They moved to the United States in 1968 after Duranord lost his job as a judge and was awarded a visa to visit the U.S. He settled in Spring Valley. One by one, family members joined him. Veillard got a job as a lab technician at the Good Samaritan Hospital and worked there for about 10 years and retired for a second time. “He remembers everything,” said his son, Vely Veillard, 62. “Look at him! He don’t want to use a cane. He’s a superstar.” Jeanne Veillard sat quietly next to her husband, wearing a white linen dress and a pair of pink slippers. They patted each other on the hand. How did the happy couple meet? “I found him in the street,” she joked in French Creole, making the room full of relatives laugh. Rockland County doesn’t keep records of its oldest person, but Veillard’s family believes Duranord and Jeanne are the oldest married couple in the area. Veillard said his secret for living a long and healthy life: “That’s God,” he said in French Creole. He starts his day at 5 a.m. and does five to seven pushups. For breakfast, he has a cup of tea, oatmeal and fresh fruit. Lunch and dinner consist of fish and fresh vegetables. The centenarians nap early and often. The couple do not leave their house except to see the doctor. Neither walks without assistance. But both are looking forward to celebrating another landmark in their life. “Thank you very much,” Veillard said to well- wishers. “Merci beaucoup.” Culled Source: Husband, 108 and wife, 105, celebrates 82 years wedding anniversary - Jade African jadeafrican.com 2 Likes
