Genyss Vaughan turned 100 on Aug. 19, and had a party with her friends and family at Stafford Suites on Aug. 21.

Genyss has been a Sumner resident since 1938 when she moved from California. She had three children attend Sumner High School and she herself was a Bonney Lake Elementary School librarian for six years.

Two of her daughters, Nancy Gundler and Marianna Vaughan, were Daffodil Princesses (Marianna in ‘55 and Nancy in ‘63).

Although she’s travelled all over the world, Genyss loves Washington and Mount Rainier particularly.

The Washington DOL recently sent her a notice that Genyss needs to renew her driver’s license, but she’s isn’t sure she will do so.
