Coeur d'Alene woman celebrates 100th birthday with friends and Mahjong
June Davis marked 100 at Lake City Center with friends, Mahjong and a nod to Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler.
Mahjong chips clicked across the tables at Lake City Center as June Davis marked her 100th birthday surrounded by friends in Coeur d'Alene. Davis, who was born in Chicago in 1926, spent Tuesday in a setting that matched the way she likes to live: social, active and in the middle of the room.
The celebration unfolded at 1916 Lakewood Drive, where Lake City Center serves adults 60 and older with meals, social programming and community activities. Davis’s birthday fit the center’s regular rhythm because Mahjong is part of its calendar every Tuesday and Friday from 1 to 4 p.m., along with sessions on the first and third Mondays of the month.
Davis has spent much of her life moving through those kinds of institutions and routines. After moving to Los Angeles as a young person, she attended grammar school, junior high school and high school there before graduating from the University of Southern California. On her 100th birthday, she framed her longevity in the most personal terms: “I'm a perfect example of having a wonderful family and friends who are in good health.”
Her celebration also carried the smaller details that make a milestone feel lived-in rather than ceremonial. Davis’s favorite golfers are Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, a personal touch that added to the sense that this was not just a centenarian photo opportunity but a gathering shaped by her interests, habits and voice.
Lake City Center says its mission is to address food insecurity and social isolation among vulnerable seniors in Coeur d'Alene and nearby North Idaho communities, including Post Falls, Dalton Gardens, Hayden, Hauser and Huetter. That work has made the center a familiar place for older adults who need a meal, a game or simply a reason to show up.
The City of Coeur d'Alene’s senior directory lists Lake City Senior Center as a provider of Meals on Wheels and help with daily needs, and North Idaho senior-services directories describe the region as a popular retirement center with multiple service providers. Davis’s 100th birthday turned those services into a familiar scene: a long life, a local gathering place and a card table full of people who knew exactly where to find each other.
