Ron Smith Care Centre resident Kitty Venn
turned 101 on April 5, 2018.
The ever-smiling birthday girl was presented
with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, birthday greetings and special wishes from
fellow residents and staff of the Rand Aid Association-run care centre.
A tennis player until shortly before she turned
80, Kitty lived independently until she was 98 when a fall and subsequent hip
replacement necessitated her move to the care centre.
Born Doreen Ruby Mole in 1917 in Swakopmund,
South West Africa, she was the fourth child in a family of 12 children.
She and husband Oliver had four children, 18
grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren.
Kitty still enjoys frequent walks – albeit it
with a walker.
“She is an amazing lady with a smile that just lights up and encompasses all those in her presence,” says Debbie Christen, Rand Aid’s Manager: Recreational Programmes.
