Biographical / Historical
Marian (Herndon) McQuade (1917/01/18–2008/09/26) was the founder of National Grandparents Day. She served on the West Virginia Commission on Aging and the Nursing Home Licensing Board. For many years, she helped with the Past 80 Party, which was held annually in Richwood, WV. Jim Comstock, editor of 'The News Leader' and the West Virginia Hillbilly, originated the Past 80 Party.
McQuade campaigned in West Virginia and later nationwide to set aside a day for grandparents. West Virginia became the first state with a special day to honor grandparents when Gov. Arch Moore proclaimed May 27, 1973 as Grandparents Day. In September 1978, the White House called McQuade to inform her that President Jimmy Carter had signed a bill designating the Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day beginning in 1979.
