Happy Birthday

On February 27th, Ms. Addie Borlang will turn 99 years young! Born Addie Warren in 1926 in Ticonderoga, NY, she was the oldest of eight children. She was raised and went to school in Putnam. When her mother died young, she took on the task of helping to raise her younger siblings while her father, John Wesley Warren, worked on the railroad. 

Addie met William S. Bailey and married him on December 20, 1947. They had two girls, Linda and Deborah and lived in South Glens Falls. Addie worked at the South Glens Falls Laundromat. They moved to Glens Falls and she worked for Neisners for several years. Unfortunately, her husband passed during this time. Later she worked for several other establishments, including Woolworths. 

In 1974, Addie remarried Olai Borlang and resided with him in Hudson Falls. They spent many summers at their beautiful camp on Green Pond in Hebron. Olai passed in 2015. 

Addie moved to Wilton after his death and now resides at the Wilton Commons where she enjoys spending her time talking and doing puzzles with the other residents. She now has five grandchildren, eight Great Grandchildren, and one Great Great Grandchild. 

When asked about her age, Addie laughs and says she’s not old. She’s definitely still young at heart.
