Theresa Wujick of Spring Hill was born 100 years ago today on April 30th 1915 in Yonkers New York. She attributes her longevity to healthy exercise and dancing. She still enjoys “cutting the rug” at the age of 100.
In 1939 she married John Wujick and they had two sons together. Five years ago John passed away at the age of 97. John and Theresa were married 71 years. Theresa Wujick was the first crossing guard in White Plains New York. She quit because they wanted her to wear shorts in the winter to show off her legs.
In 1957 Theresa and John moved to Florida. After her husband’s retirement from the airline industry they traveled the world, taking 35 cruises.
She will celebrate her 100th birthday at Salishan Gracious Retirement Living in Spring Hill. The Board of County Commissioners honored Theresa with a Resolution on her 100th birthday. She was overwhelmed and thankful for the honor.
