Seaside Manor resident Erma Mohl celebrated her 106th birthday on Friday, Oct. 30, with music, a car parade and a gift from the mayor.
Many of the assisted living facility's staff and residents wore red — Mohl's favorite color — to the outdoor celebration. One resident even brought Mohl a fabric rose.
Mohl is the oldest resident at Seaside Manor. She was born in Ruscombmanor Township in Berks County, Pennsylvania on Oct. 30, 1914. She grew up with four siblings on a farm where they would milk cows and do other chores before school each day. Mohl fell in love with Florida eight years ago while on vacation and never returned to Pennsylvania. She was given a key to the city for her 105th birthday in 2019.
