Sonja Alexander, assisted by Evelyn Perry, hosted a lovely afternoon birthday celebration for her mother, Eileen Allsup, on Saturday, July 31at at the First Baptist Church on Lusk. Four generations were in attendance, which included daughter, Sonja and her husband, Eldon Alexander, of Manville, Eileen’s granddaughter, Heidi, and husband Jack Cramm, and great-grandchildren, Andrea and Kaden Cramm pf Denver.
The reception table held beautiful cakes made by Carol Schroeder and Evelyn Perry. A lovely floral arrangement from her daughter graced the table where Eileen and her husband, Wilbur, greeted the guests. Table décor was festive with yellow and lavender flowers.
A highlight of the afternoon came when Lusk Mayor Patricia L. Smith arrived with a floral arrangement and to present a proclamation that stated “I hereby proclaim August 3, 2010, Eileen Allsup Day and urge all citizens to recognize her long and remarkable life in honor of her 90th birthday.”
Serving and assisting with the reception table were Geneva Burke, Sammie Scott, Loretta Wilkinson and Helen Fulk. Friends enjoyed the chance to visit with family members who came to honor Eileen for her special occasion.
