One Resident at HC-One’s Moss View care home, in Huyton, has just celebrated her 107th birthday.
Elsie, pictured, spent the morning of her birthday reading over 100 birthday cards that had been sent from the local St Aloysius primary school children, as well as chocolates and flowers. She also received birthday cards from two local childrens’ nurseries; Little Einstein’s nursery and Busy Bees children’s nursery in Childwall. Admiring the beautiful artwork, Elsie was delighted reading all the lovely birthday wishes.
But, Elsie’s highlight of the day was receiving her 7th birthday card from the Queen.
When asked about what her secret is to her youthful looks, Elsie said that she always loved dancing. Dancing was a big part of Elsie’s life and she passed many exams. Elsie was still dancing and travelling up to the age of 95.
When reminiscing, Elsie’s favourite memories were her trips the to the Isle of Man and dancing in Blackpool.
Elsie finished the day enjoying a party buffet, some refreshments and of course some delicious birthday cake made by the home’s Chef
Lesley, Wellbeing Coordinator, commented, “We were overwhelmed at the generosity and thoughtfulness from the local community. The school children and nursery children made some beautiful cards. Elsie was delighted reading them all. It really cheered her up!”
