She sounds like a terrific lady. To love what you do so much that you keep doing it until age 94 is really impressive! I wish her a happy retirement.

Amazing story! Good for her that she had the good health to be able to do the job! I hope she is happy in her retirement.

My family moved to Cherry Hill, NJ also in 1965 (the same year that Claire Bauman started her job) though I went to a different elementary school. I now live about an hour away in PA I went to Cherry Hill just yesterday which I rarely do. So much has changed over the years that I just don't recognize most things in the area anymore!
