Friends and family joined Mary Keane to celebrate her 103rd
birthday this past Saturday, May 12, at the home of Scott and Judy Heminger in
Ogunquit. Keane lives there with her brother, John, who is 98. The siblings
were orphaned when Mary was nine years old. “There were four brothers and sisters, and they each went to
live with a different family,” Judy Heminger said. “Their parents were Irish
immigrants, and they worked in the Amoskeag mill yard in Manchester, New
Hampshire. “Even at her age, she has her mind and wits about her. She’s quite a
lady.” More than seventy-five guests turned out to the Open House to wish Mary
Happy Birthday. (courtesy photo)
