Lillian I. Folk, a resident of Luther Crest Retirement Community, South Whitehall, celebrated her 104th birthday on June 17.

Lillian, who was born in Seipstown, is the last surviving member of her family of 14.

The daughter of the late Wilson and Mary (Rupp) Breininger, she was married to the late Earl Folk and the companion of the late Woodrow Neff.

Lillian attended one-room schools in Seipstown and her one regret was she could not attend high school because of not having transportation to Fogelsville to catch the bus.

Lillian, who was employed by H. Leh and Company, Allentown, took heavy bolts of upholstery material into clients’ homes and pinned the material for slipcovers.

After the material was sewed, at Leh’s she took the finished slipcover back to the customer’s home to be fitted on the furniture.

In her early years, Lillian liked to golf, travel, garden, go fishing and visit with her many brothers and sisters and their families.

Today, she likes to do puzzles, go to church and exercise, go for walks and plant vegetables in the Luther Crest garden.

Lillian, who has resided at Luther Crest for the past 14 years, is the aunt of Carl R. and Minnie Breininger of Weisenberg Township.

She also has many nephews and nieces living in the Northwestern Lehigh, Hamburg and Kutztown areas.
