Covered with flowers and wishes of happiness, the Moissagaise celebrated a century of existence surrounded by its loved ones.
Could it be the air of Moissac, its gastronomy, its good living, “the protection of the Virgin of Calvary” which dominates his house, as the new centenarian says with a knowing smile, or any other mysterious cause? Still, at this time the town of Moissac can be proud to count several centenarians among its inhabitants. Saturday, it is Raymonde Salers-Durel, who, at home, celebrated with dignity this milestone of 100 years that she has just had on July 18, 2022.
Don’t worry, she is an alert centenarian, with an alert mind, a faithful memory and who keeps abreast of life in Moissaga.
An anecdote that clearly indicates a memory that the years have not been enough to erode, told by one of his cousins: the latter talking to him again about an event that had taken place at least 70 years ago, had the surprise of seeing his grandmother tell him in great detail and with great precision.
The daughter of a former mayor and deputy
As for his attraction to Moissac life, we can easily understand this penchant when we know that his grandfather was mayor of Moissac as well as his father who added the mandate of deputy to his political career.
It is therefore “a family that has marked the history of Moissac, and of which Raymonde likes to talk again, without however living in the past, and by following the news assiduously.
On a personal and family level, after her studies at Joan of Arc, Raymonde worked at the Duchein pharmacy in Montauban and only left when she retired to return to Moissac, near her family and friends. a team of caregivers taking serious and daily care. She married René Durel, bank director, but the couple had no children.
Enjoying retirement with pleasure, Raymonde celebrated her 100th birthday among her family, neighbors and friends to whom she is very attached.
It was Any Delcher, deputy mayor, representing Romain Lopez, who congratulated the centenarian for her vitality, her joy in celebrating this around her family and friends with an excellent snack in the family garden.” All wished her a very happy birthday, and many more years of a peaceful life and a well-deserved retirement.
