Happy 105th Birthday to our lovely Maura! 🎂
Maura was recently surprised with a lovely celebration at Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon complete with sandwiches, scones, and sweet treats. She was overjoyed to see her friends, neighbours, and family waiting for her. 🥰 She enjoyed it so much she didn’t want to put her scone down for photos, and we don’t blame her!
Maura’s century-spanning life includes service in the WAAF during WWII, a long Civil Service career in London, and a happy retirement in Stratford. She’s a devoted Catholic, proud Ireland rugby fan, wonderful aunt, baker of legendary rock cakes, and dog lover - especially of her beloved spaniel, Tippy.
A huge thank you to The Parish Office Team, Maura’s loved ones, and our Barnfield team for making this a day to remember. ❤️
A Stratford resident who saw King George VI and the future Queen Elizabeth II on VE Day has celebrated her 105th birthday.
