May 10, 2022, was a day to remember for Willie and Mary V. The Winnsboro couple had their 66th wedding anniversary in February but were unable to celebrate it due to COVID-19. The senior living community where they live, Autumn Wind, stepped up and made sure the couple had a wonderful celebration to make up for it.

When speaking to their daughter about what her parents would like to do, the zoo was the first thing that came to mind. After carefully planning their celebration, the plan was set in place… off to the Caldwell Zoo they went! After a visit to the zoo, the couple also enjoyed a seafood lunch at the Jumbo Seafood restaurant.
