Patricia, who has lived a rich and fulfilling life, was married in 1946 and spent many years in Syrasham before settling in Culworth to raise her family. Her marriage of 49 years brought her great joy before the passing of her beloved husband.

 

Making this milestone birthday particularly memorable, Patricia's children made special journeys to be with their mother - her son and daughter-in-law traveling from Scotland, while her daughter and son-in-law came up from London. The celebration was made even more special as Patricia's grandchildren connected virtually to share their love and best wishes with their remarkable great-grandmother.

 

"Patricia doesn't look her age, we would all like to know her secret," said Shaju Paul, General Manager at Chacombe Park Care Home. "She looks fabulous at all times and shows no signs of aging. It's been wonderful to be part of today's birthday celebrations and to meet Patricia's children, their love for their mother filled the room as did the cakes!"
