Ron Smith Care Centre resident
Kitty Venn celebrated yet another milestone on April 5, 2019, when she turned
102.
Residents and staff of the care
centre’s Lakeside wing joined Kitty’s daughter Carol Cunningham and Kitty’s
youngest sister, Merle Price, for a tea and scrumptious carrot cake. Merle also
lives in Lakeside.
Kitty moved into Rand Aid Association’s Elphin Lodge in 2000 after her
husband died and 15 years later, in her late 90s, moved to the care centre set
in the grounds of Elphin Lodge.
Born Doreen Ruby Mole in 1917 in Swakopmund, South
West Africa, Kitty was the fourth of 12 children. She puts her longevity down
to a life of happiness, eating everything in moderation, exercise (she played
tennis well into her 80s), playing bridge and being blessed with a loving
family.
Residents and staff from Lakeside celebrate Kitty’s 102nd birthday.
