Oakland honors resident Ada Palma Romeo on her 100th birthday
Summary
Mayor and council presented a mayoral proclamation and a joint legislative resolution recognizing Ada Palma Romeo’s 100th birthday; family members recalled her community involvement and healthy lifestyle.
Mayor Eric Kamala and the Borough Council presented a proclamation on April 14 honoring Ada Palma Romeo on her 100th birthday and read a joint legislative resolution sent by the New Jersey Legislature. Family members described Romero’s longtime ties to Oakland — "She has lived in Oakland for 66 years," one family member said — and recounted her community involvement, faith, and exercise routine as contributors to her longevity.
The council invited Romero and family members to the dais for photographs and presented the proclamation for inclusion in borough communications. An assembly representative also read portions of a joint legislative resolution congratulating Romero on her century of life.
Why it matters: The proclamation highlights local civic tradition in recognizing long-time residents and offers a community moment at the start of the council’s public business.
What’s next: Council asked to include the proclamation and photos in the borough newsletter.
