It seems almost remarkable for two people to have been married for 60 years, but Inglewood residents Helen and Al Anscomb have accomplished it, as of today (Thursday).
They had their celebration Saturday at Caledon Fairgrounds, and Mr. Anscomb said more than 170 people showed up. He also said they asked guests not to bring presents, but rather to make donations to Caledon Meals on Wheels. He reported Tuesday that effort raised more than $1,300.
The couple were married at the Manse of Inglewood United Church July 24, 1954. Mrs. Anscomb came from Cochrane originally, while her husband was born in Barrie, the youngest of nine children.
Over the years, the Anscombs raised three daughters and one son, and they now have four granddaughters and one grandson, as well as a three-year-old great-granddaughter.
When it comes to the secret of staying married 60 years, Mr. Anscomb said it involves “many, many little things,” such as “working together.”
“A woman’s love is like a camp fire,” he said. “If you don’t tend to it regularly, you lose it.”
Helen and Al Anscomb are marking their 60th wedding anniversary today (Thursday).
