A special birthday party honoring 95-year-old Elizabeth (Betty) Bauerfeind Cox was hosted by employees of the Liberty ShopRite store Thursday morning March 24.
All the store employees and customers in the store at the time were invited to enjoy refreshments and to sing Happy Birthday while Betty blew out the candles on her special birthday cake.

Liberty ShopRite Shop Steward and Computer Generated Ordering Coordinator JoAnn Walls was responsible for putting this special occasion together and coordinated all of the arrangements. Ms. Walls noted "Betty is a very special customer and we all love her."
Elizabeth was born at the families farm house in North Branch March 24, 1916, the daughter of Ed and Nellie Metzer Bauerfeind. North Branch Dr. Schenger assisted with the birth.
Betty attended a one-room school house in North Branch and at the age of 25 married Robert Cox on June 15, 1941. They had five sons, Robert who now lives in Liberty, Ronald living in the state of Illinois and Richard who makes his home in the state of California. Two sons are deceased.
Betty's grandfather was the owner of the North Branch Hotel. Over the years Ms. Cox was employed as a waitress at the Chester Diner which was owned by her mother-in-law and she also was employed as a housekeeper in the North Branch area. Hobbies previously enjoyed by Betty included dancing as a member of the Happy Footers Square Dance club, bowling and quilt making.
She now enjoys reading, word finds and walking sometimes two and three times a day to the Liberty ShopRite from her home at the Golden Hills Apartments where she has made her home for the past 12 years.
One of her favorite Sunday activities is attending services at the Church On The Rock in Youngsville.
