Dorothy Louise Horsman Williams Hesketh celebrated her 99th birthday at the 99 Restaurant on December 26.
Hesketh was born on Dec. 26, 1920, in West Wareham in the home of her great-grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Meier.
Her parents met at a skating pond in West Wareham.
Hesketh spent many of her later years in Middleboro and Albany, NH, but she and 35 family members, including her four children, gathered in her hometown to celebrate her 99th birthday.
She continues to live in the Williams family home in South Middleboro.
