Special Moments Benyas 65th Anniversary S ixty-five years ago, on Oct. 12, 1952, Deborah (Margolis) and Dean Benyas were married at Temple Israel in Detroit. As a newly married couple they lived in Detroit, Oak Park, Southfield, then West Bloomfield. They moved to Delray y Beach, Fla., in 1998, and are now w — coming full circle — back residing in West Bloomfield. While raising three girls, the late Karen (Stoller), Marcy (Silver) and Jodi (Warner), Debby y was a homemaker who played maj, loved to cook and bake, and d sewed most of her own clothes … all while working at Dean’s accounting office. In 1998, they retired to Gleneagles Country Club, a golfing community in Delray Beach, where their children and grandchildren loved to visit. There, Debby volunteered for cancer groups, sewing dolls for children in the hospi- tal. Dean played a lot of golf and started a ride company, which he sold a few months ago before moving back to the “D”. “The key to staying young at heart is keeping our minds busy and our bodies moving,” says Dean, who turns 89 next month and just may break out in a dance at any time. Gramma Debby and Grampa Duck are loved and adored by all who know them, and are extremely happy to be back in Michigan, making more precious memories with their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. • 9535 Van Dyke Road, Detroit In partnership with NEXTGen, Repair the World and Hillel of Metro Detroit SEPT. 24 Jason and Kory (Taylor) Markzon, who are proudly serving their country overseas, announce the birth of Violet Diane Markzon.
