Annemarie Gruber turned 100 years
old on July 11, 2016. Her eyes and
ears don’t work as well as they used
to, but otherwise Annemarie is in
remarkable shape.
It isn’t medication that keeps this
100-year-old going strong because
she takes none. That’s right, not a
single pill.
Maybe it’s the many years she spent
swimming, golfing and skiing. Or
maybe her practice of standing on
one leg for 10 minutes straight, and
then switching to the other leg for 10
minutes.
Maybe it’s the dozens of toys from
around the world that she surrounds
herself with in her apartment in Building 58. She and her deceased

husband ran an import toy business together, and their shared love
of toys lives on.
Maybe it’s the bright colors she loves to wear or the hot chocolate she
loves to drink.
Or maybe it’s the team of friends and caregivers who look out for her
and are quick to tell you how remarkable she is. I recently sat down to
chat with Annemarie, her friend and Windsor Gardens neighbor Molly
Malone and one of her care providers, Teresa. Molly’s and Teresa’s
affection for Annemarie was apparent, as well as their appreciation
for her sweet yet strong spirit.
“It’s rare to see Annemarie get frustrated or mad,” said Molly.
“She always wears happy clothes – clothes that match her personality,”
said Teresa. “She is so sweet and generous.”
“She loves to get in a car and go!” said Molly. “We enjoy antique
shopping and window shopping at the Denver Dumb Friends League
together.”
Building 58 celebrated Annemarie’s 100th birthday in July. “She was
dancing and there were lots of hugs and kisses,” said Molly.
