Four Sundale centenarians have gathered to share more than 400 years of combined wisdom at a special morning tea.
104-year-old Marie Rose Clarke, 103-year-old Peg Morse, 103-year-old Phyllis Butt and 103-year-old Lois Mayers are all members of Sundale’s exclusive 100 Club and all have different opinions on the secret to living a long and happy life.
Hard work. I started work at the age of 14 scrubbing floors on my hands and knees and doing ironing with a flat iron that was heated on the stove. Eating bread and dripping as a child – Marie “Rose” Clarke
Living a clean life and giving credit to the Lord – Lois Mayers
Not sticking your nose into other people’s business. I have no right to do so! I don’t tell people what to do – Peg Morse
Don’t have any worries, be happy, take one day at a time – Phyllis Butt
Sundale CEO, Helen Sharpley said Sundale’s centenarians are loved and respected members of the community.
“It’s an honour to care for and be-friend these five amazing women,” Ms Sharpley said.
“They have each led amazing, deep and meaningful lives and have left a lasting legacy on their friends and family and the Sundale community.
“Sundale is a richer organisation because of Rose, Peg, Phyllis, and Lois and their warmth and wisdom.”
