Happy Birthday, Loretta Shainker!

On Saturday, December 10, Loretta Shainker had a party to cele-

brate her 100th birthday. She was born December 2, 1916. Loretta
has lived in Beachwood for more than sixty years, and has two sons,
five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Loretta grew up in Bronx, New York, and, before getting married

and moving to Cleveland, she was vice president of Carlton Lingerie
Corporation. She was active with Hadassah and has always been a
very active person who enjoyed walking and exercising before it
was in vogue, and golfing into her 90s.

Loretta also enjoys traveling. She played in national bridge tour-

naments around the country, traveled all over the world with her
husband, and still goes to Las Vegas twice a year. Loretta says she is
a survivor, and at age 90, she could have won the Survivor show.

In honor and recognition of this milestone, Mayor Merle S.

Gorden and City Council proclaimed Saturday, December 10, 2016
as "Loretta Shainker Day" in the City of Beachwood.

Lore a says she is a survivor,

and at age 90, she could have

won the Survivor show.
