Blue Diamond Retiree Celebrates 100th Birthday!

Blue Diamond wishes a very happy 100th birthday to Marion Flandrena, who reached this exciting milestone on July 27, 2025. Marion was a Blue Diamond employee for over 10 years, first serving as secretary to data processing lead, Stan Deam before working as the manager of the Nut & Gift Shop (known then as the Almond Plaza). She thoroughly enjoyed her time at Blue Diamond and is a self-proclaimed Blue Diamond enthusiast who sings the Co-op’s praises to any and all who will listen. Even her friends comment on how much she loves the Co-op. Nearly 80 of Marion’s friends and family joined her birthday celebration, many of whom flew in from across the country for the occasion. Her favorite fruit is cherry, so naturally, each guest received their own tube of Marion’s new favorite Blue Diamond product, Cherry Slurpee almonds, as party favors! And if you’re wondering how she looks so good, she’d tell you ”It’s probably all the almonds.“ Happy 100th birthday, Marion!
