A Minnesota couple will soon celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary and are sharing their secrets to a long life and a happy marriage and how they’ve kept faith at the center of everything.
Hazel Bollinger turned 100 in November 2023. Her husband, Norman Bollinger, will turn 100 on Feb. 28, 2024. The couple, who first met in June 1945 and “courted by mail” until they tied the knot in South Minneapolis in 1949, will have been married for 75 years on June 10, 2024. Together they have four children, seven grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren.
