Congratulations to Allen and Helen Marie Ates, who celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary Saturday, Nov. 9 with family. They were married Nov. 7, 1953, in Calhoun. Helen also celebrated her 82nd birthday Nov. 6 (b. 1937), surrounded by family and friends. Together, they have created a large, loving family with four children and numerous grand and great-grandchildren, who can attest to the two being madly in love and love God as well. Their children have inherited a great legacy and are greatful for their time with Granny and Pa! Thank you, family and friends, for all the celebratory wishes!
