Alice Darrow has been honored as one of the last living links to Pearl Harbor as a Navy nurse during World War II. Saturday, she was celebrated by family, friends, and community members for her love of life and patriotic commitment to our country, all at the young age of 105.
Lots of food, flowers, cards and cupcakes- and of course, family and friends made for a memorable birthday party for a former navy nurse, who’s also one of the last of the ‘greatest generations in American history.’ A special birthday party took place in Danville on Saturday, and Darrow said she wasn’t expecting such a large get-together. "No, I certainly wasn’t, but I’m happy to see everyone! It’s a thrill," said Darrow.She was born in 1919 in Paso Robles.
So, I said, ‘sure, why not?’ They didn’t think he was going to make it anyways," said Darrow.The couple were married for almost fifty years when Mr. Darrow died in 1991. Together they raised four children in Lake County, where both parents were very active in military memorial services. Darrow is one of the last living links to Pearl Harbor.
