SOMA Spotlight: Theresa and Magdalena Margelony

BostonBruins.com -Most people reach their 80s and decide it's time to take it slow and watch from the sidelines as their children or grandchildren compete. But Magdalena Margelony of Shrewsbury decided 84 was the perfect age to start playing bocce with her daughter Theresa as a Unified partner.
"I don't remember what they called bocce in German, but I used to play, it was fun," said Magdalena who was born in Germany.

Theresa, 59, has been a Special Olympics athlete with the Shrewsbury program for about six or seven years now, competing in basketball, bocce and track & field. This year, however, Magdalena decided to join in the fun, supporting her daughter from right there on the court. Theresa likes competing, but also the social aspects of the team.
"The people I play with now, I love them, they're really good," Theresa said. She listed all the events they do together like Halloween parties, Christmas parties and more.
