Drive-by parade planned for Saturday for Rockwall County resident turning 105

ROCKWALL, TX (Sept. 23, 2022) Look who’s turning 105! The family of Sylvia Johnson invites the entire community to celebrate Sylvia Johnson’s special day with a drive-by birthday parade at 2PM tomorrow (Saturday, Sept. 24) at 2622 Cypress Drive, Rockwall 75087 (Ridgecrest neighborhood).

Join in the parade or send a greeting card, and let’s show this Rockwall County resident some love!

Sylvia was born in 1917 at home in Verona, Wisconsin. Her parents were immigrants coming through Ellis Island from Switzerland. They owned a dairy farm and she and her six siblings worked hard milking cows and working in the fields. She met her husband in Madison and moved to Illinois where she lived most of her life, until moving to Texas with her two children at the age of 104.

Sylvia has lived thru 18 different presidencies, World War 1, The Great Depression, World War 2, The Moon Landing and many other historical events.

If you’d like more deets about joining the parade, contact Sylvia’s granddaughter, Melissa Gale Pedroza, .
