LongeviQuest is delighted to share that Camille Campau of Michigan, turns 111 years old.
Camille Campau is an American supercentenarian born on 5 October 1914 in the United States.
At 15, Aunt “Millie” left home to assist the nuns at “The Convent” at St. Paul on the Lake. Since the nuns were cloistered at the time, they couldn’t speak with male workers.
She later married into an old Detroit family and lived in Grosse Pointe Farms on Muir Road, right next to her mother-in-law, “Mme. Campau.” The Campau family once owned all the land in St. Clair Shores, now known as Chapoton Woods. During the Depression, they allowed the “worthless” land to revert to the State. Mme.
Campau’s later home was off Lakeshore, near the curve across from the Edsel Ford Estate.
On her 110th birthday, she is one of the 13 residents of Beechwood Manor Assisted Living who celebrated being centenarians.
LongeviQuest sends our warmest greetings for her 110th birthday. May she continue to be an inspiration to all of us.
