Sunday, October 7 was sunny and unusually warm. The mercury hit 90 – 17 degrees above average. But the August-like heat didn’t deter over 200 friends, neighbors and rel-atives from stopping by Pewee Valley Presbyterian Church’s Family Life Center to wish
Sis Marker a happy 100th birthday.
During the two-and-a-half hour event, Pewee Valley’s oldest birthday girl sat in a com-fortable wingback chair and greeted a steady stream of guests. Two large tables of photos
and memorabilia – one put together by her daughter Ginny Chisholm and the other by the church she faithfully served as organist for over three decades – provided glimpses of Sis’s long life. One item partygoers agreed was especially apropos of Sis’s character was an apron embroidered with, “Make sure your words are sweet and tender. Tomorrow you
may have to eat them.”
Many guests brought small gifts, but three were exceptionally unique. Mayor Bob Rog-ers presented Sis with a balloon bouquet and showed her a plaque that will soon adorn a Yellowwood tree planted in her honor in Central Park. Pewee Valley Postmaster Andrea Braden presented her with a gift box containing over 100 birthday cards and greetings
collected from well-wishers near and far, including a special birthday greeting from U.S. Postmaster General Megan Brannan. Sis worked for the Pewee Valley Post Office for 25 years before retiring in 1981. And Oldham Era Publisher Jane Ashley Pace and Reporter Amanda Manning presented Sis with a framed copy of the Oldham Era’s front page from
the week she was born in 1918.
Partygoers received gifts as well: printed recipe cards for Sis’s specialty, Modjeskas, as well as a tiny gift bag with a Modjkesa inside – symbolic of all the caramel-covered
marshmallow confections Sis gave as gifts over the years.
Of her party, Sis says with a big smile, “It couldn’t have been better. Everything was wonderful, from the food to the flowers to the turnout. I got to see everyone, and every-
one got to visit with each other.”
Ginny is awed by the time and energy so many gave to make the celebration a success. “What a wonderful demonstration of love for her,” she says. “Mom’s description of the
party is perfect. It couldn’t have been better.”
Celebrating 100 Years!
