104th Birthday Celebrations For Local Care Home Resident

Celebrations have been in full swing at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home as one of its residents reaches 104th Birthday in style.

The birthday lady, Marion was joined by staff, relatives, friends and other residents as she celebrated her landmark birthday. A champagne reception was held at the home and guests enjoyed a special birthday cake made by the home’s chef.

Friends from Bredon WI. visited in the morning for a coffee and shared memories together from when Marion was president herself at Bredon WI.

In the afternoon they welcomed Emma from Mini Concerts for the party and celebrate Marion’s big day with family, more friends and staff at Tewkesbury Fields. And what a party!

One of Marion’s friends surprised everyone by presenting what we believe to be 99 years old tambourine that Marion used to play when dancing at a young age. It has been very well looked after and it will now be kept in the family.

Marion enjoyed the day but really “didn’t know what all the fuss was about”! Edrianne Baluyut General Manager of Barchester Tewkesbury Fields Care Home added: “We’re delighted to be celebrating a truly remarkable Lady as she reaches this amazing milestone. Marion was one of our first residents when the home re –opened 2 years ago and is such a popular resident who always has an interesting tale to tell, and we look forward to hearing many more.”
