Lawrence and Edsella Debler of Oak Harbor celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary July 7 with family and friends, including a grandson from Alaska who surprised them. Edsella, 85, and Lawrence, 88, lived in Sacramento, Calif., for more of their lives but have resided on Whidbey Island since 1997. “Not many people hit 70 years of age necessarily, let alone 70 [years] of marriage,” Edsella said.
