NYS Senator Dean Murray presented Mary Papilon with a NYS Senate Proclamation commemorating her 108th birthday at a celebration in Lake Ronkonkoma, NY.
Celebrating with her were her family and friends along with Assemblyman Doug Smith, Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine, Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy, Jr., and Suffolk County Legislator Leslie Kennedy, who provided birthday greetings of their own.
“Mary is a remarkable woman, who has seen and experienced so much in her life. To put it in perspective, Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, was President when Mary was born and this year, we will be electing the 47th President of the United States. I am truly in awe of Ms. Papilon and the life that she has lived. I was honored to join her friends, family and loved ones to celebrate this momentous occasion with her. May she continue to enjoy life to its fullest,” said NYS Senator Dean Murray, 3rd Senate District.
