HC-One’s Roby Lodge Care Home, in Huyton, Liverpool, is appealing for kind-hearted people to send birthday cards to a resident who is turning 101.
Roby Lodge resident Margaret “Peggy” Fearon, 100, was born on April 15, 1924, in Liverpool. Peggy grew up with her six siblings on Salisbury Street, and she has lived a life full of love, laughter, and a lot of dancing shoes.
After leaving school, Peggy worked in a bakery where she became a shop assistant, and later a barmaid – serving pints and charm in pubs and restaurants across Liverpool and Knowsley.
Peggy met her beloved Tommy while he was in the Navy, and they married in 1948. Together, they had three children, four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
The team at Roby Lodge Care Home would like to make it extra special for Peggy. Roby Lodge Care Home are asking people to send Peggy a birthday card as it "would mean so much” to her.
When asked what her secret is to a long life, Peggy Fearon replied:
“My secret to living a long life is ballroom dancing – which I still love – and a good old giggle.”
Natalie Carney, HC-One’s Roby Lodge Care Home Manager, said:
“To help us celebrate Peggy’s amazing milestone, we’re hoping to collect at least 101 birthday cards from Liverpool and elsewhere to show her just how loved and celebrated she is. We think Peggy may be Huyton’s oldest living resident, and it would be great to help celebrate her life with a big collection of birthday cards.
"We are all really looking forward to her birthday on the 15th April, it’s going to be a wonderful party and one to remember. We’ve already had an offer from a local baker to provide her with a special birthday cake, which is a fantastic gesture.
"Let’s fill her day with smiles, stories - and enough cards to wallpaper her room twice over! It would mean so much to Peggy, reading the well wishes and messages from others in the local community."
Any cards people wish to send should be sent to: F.A.O. Mrs Margaret (Peggy) Fearon, Roby Lodge Care Home, Tarbock Road, Huyton, Liverpool, Merseyside, L36 5XW
