OGEMAW COUNTY– Dr. Jacki Hanifin of West Branch recently turned 100 years old. Dr. Hanifin was born in Schenectady, New York on June 14, 1925. After 40 years having a private practice in Michigan, Dr. Hanifin retired to Fawn Lake. Retirement was short lived as Dr. Hanifin began doctoring with Dr. Pesko, traveling between Pesko’s four clinics, before retiring from the medical profession a second time.

Nearly 100 friends and family gathered over three separate birthday celebrations.

When asked what’s the secret for longevity, Dr. Hanifin replied, “living in this wonderful community of West Branch, it’s filled with kind-hearted people.”
