MEDINA – Harry “Mick” and Elizabeth Tower are happy to share their secret for a long, happy marriage.
“The secret is open communication and not to hold a grudge. Deal with the situation and move on,” they say.
On Thursday, the couple celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary at the North Wing, where Elizabeth has been a resident since Feb. 9. Her husband visits her nearly every day.
Mick and Elizabeth were high school sweethearts. They were married at St. Joseph’s Church in Albion and are the proud parents of two sons, Michael and Ronald. They also have four grandchildren.
Elizabeth worked as a secretary for Dr. Karl Heuer, an Albion dentist, and Mick was self-employed at his business, Tower Electric.
The couple enjoyed a lot of the same things, like camping and square dancing. They had a fifth wheel and belonged to a camping club, and were also members of a square dancing club.
When asked about their marriage, Elizabeth said, “It wasn’t always peaches and cream, but my husband is pretty easy going.”
