William Owen Hanna, known as "Owen," turned 100 years old on Sunday, October 4, 2026, and celebrated the milestone at MacDade Bowl in Holmes, Pennsylvania, where he still bowls every week. Having bowled since his teenage years, Hanna threw what 6abc Philadelphia called perhaps the strike of the century in honor of the occasion. Fellow members of the senior league, which he attends weekly for half the year, joined him for the birthday celebration. The Darby Township man remains a regular presence on the lanes a century into a life of service and work.

The striking part of Hanna's story is not merely his age but his activity: he continues to bowl weekly with his senior league and serve on his church's board of deacons at 100 years old. Reports from 6abc Philadelphia and ABC7 Los Angeles describe a man who has outlived his wife and three of his four daughters, yet remains anchored in community — on the lanes and in the congregation.

There is no retirement on the horizon for Hanna's routine: he will keep joining his senior league at MacDade Bowl for the half of the year it runs, and his church duties continue through the Adult Sunday School Class and Board of Deacons Ministry. The birthday celebration drew together the community he has spent decades building — bowlers, congregants, and family across four generations of descendants. As 6abc Philadelphia noted, his words of wisdom upon turning 100 came alongside video of his skills on the lanes, a fitting snapshot of a centenarian still very much in motion.
