Special birthday for Josie at Redditch care home

Redditch Editorial 10th Apr, 2016 Updated: 18th Oct, 2016   0

A REDDITCH care home was the scene of a very special celebration last week as one of its residents celebrated turning 103-years-old.

Dorita Slade, known as Josie, celebrated her marvellous milestone at Bowood Court Care Home on Saturday (April 2) surrounded by friends, her son Douglas and daughter-in-law Marilyn.

Josie, who was born in Birmingham, moved to Feckenham after she tied the knot with sweetheart Norman, who has sadly passed away.

The pair ran a farm together and during her working life Josie also worked at Terry Springs, Royal Enfield and Barretts of Feckenham. The birthday girl was quite active as a younger woman and used to particularly enjoy cycling to work.
