Community Memorial Hospital (CMH) was honored to celebrate Maxine Barber’s 105^th birthday with her and her family while she was at CMH.

Living through two World Wars and now two pandemics, Maxine has seen a lot of change in her lifetime. “When I got married in 1937, gas was five gallons for $1. Now it’s one gallon for $5,” remarked Maxine.

With her son, other family and friends attending to mark this milestone, Maxine opened gifts and cut her own birthday cake, feeling excited to have such a fun party while in the hospital. Making sure her hair was curled and she dressed for the event, Maxine noted, “I love the staff here, I wish I could take them home with me!”
