Kent Bowl is a special place for Rose Jackson.
She has played the lanes at the iconic alley for 50 years and served as Krystal League secretary for 20 years.
Bowlers, friends and the Zaborac family – the alley’s owner and operator since 1962 – joined Mayor Suzette Cooke, photo below, in honoring Jackson for her service and contributions on her 90th birthday last Friday.
Jack “Zab” Zaborac, the patriarch of the family-owned alley, gave Jackson a gift of free bowling lifetime.
Between games, Cooke praised Jackson. The group shared a cake, hugs and smiles.
“I did not expect this,” said Jackson, appearing fit and sharp. “I’ve spent a lifetime here. It’s kept me young. It’s been a big part of my life.”
