Because of COVID-19 restrictions, friends and family – and a few bridge club members – couldn’t have a traditional 90th birthday party for Ruth McIntyre, a resident of The Moorings at Lewes. So instead, Ruth came to them. As she waved from her chair at the front entrance to Moorings, friends and family drove by to greet her. They joined together for a few minutes to present her with cards and gifts, and sing “Happy Birthday.”
