Burlington County residents came together for a special brunch for May Brill’s 102nd birthday at the Burlington County Agricultural Center on May 3. As the oldest living female veteran in New Jersey, Brill served in World War II from June 1944 to June 1946 in Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES) in Oakland, California, as a seaman third class. She was one of nine Jewish women in her barracks of 400 people as part of the program that opened the door for women to take on critical roles during the war.
