Celebrating a centenarian

Longtime Town of Saukville resident Elizabeth Feith (center) celebrated her 100th birthday on Friday, Aug. 8, with a party at The Cottages at Cedar Run assisted living facility in West Bend, where she now lives. The party was attended by friends and family who hailed from throughout the United States, SPain, Germany and England and  donned “100” glasses in honor of Feith. Those attending include (front row, from left) her daughter Sue Feith Shannon, great-grandsons William and Jack Shannon, Feith, great-granddaughter Cecilia Feith, great-grandchildren Paloma and Jonas Feith, niece Barb Fuieredi, (second row) son and daughter-in-law Andre and Helen Feith, granddaughter-in-law Tara Shannon, great-grandsons Xabi and Ian Feith, granddaughter-in-law Kelly Feith, (third row) son-in-law Tom Shannon, grandsons Andy Shannon and Richard Feith, granddaughter-in-law Amaia Feith, grandson Paul Feith, daughter-in-law Maria Feith, son John Feith, grandsons Jochen Nass and John Feith, granddaughter Cristina Feith, grandson Peter Shannon, granddaughter Natasha Feith and nephew John Fueredi. The celebration continued on Saturday when the group gathered at Regner Park in West Bend for lunch. Mrs. Feith and her husband John, who died in 2018, immigrated to the U.S. from Germany in the early 1950s. Their name lives on in philanthropic gifts they have made, including the Feith Family Ozaukee YMCA, Wisconsin Humane Society in Saukville and Parkside Community Church in Saukville.             Photo by Sam Arendt
