Those planning to attend are asked to bring food to share, their own table service, family pictures and stories.

The family of Jackie and Neil Everett announces the couple’s 65th wedding anniversary June 17. Sixty-five years ago, in 1961, Jacqueline Lula Jenkins wed Neil Roger Everett at the United Methodist Church on 5th and Center Streets in Lansing. Their decades-long love story actually began in Colorado, all thanks to a coin flip.

While out skiing with two friends, one of Neil’s companions had to leave early to meet his girlfriend. The girlfriend had requested a blind date for her friend, Jackie. Because both young men wanted to keep skiing, they flipped a coin to decide who would go. Neil “lost” the toss and left the slopes. While he might have thought he lost the coin flip at the time, he ultimately won the date of a lifetime.
