Doris celebrates 100 years
Special birthday celebration for Doris Snape with her family.
The Protea Old Age Home was abuzz with well-wishes and friendly smiles on Wednesday.
Family, staff and residents celebrated a very special birthday – Doris Snape’s 100th.
Doris was wide-awake and thrilled to be spending time with her family, some of whom flew up from Natal for the celebration.
She was born in 1914, in Durban, where she grew up and was educated.
After school she worked at Stuttafords before marrying Jack, who passed away in 2 000.
Doris and Jack relocated to Zimbabwe in 1947, where they lived until 1995.
The couple had two daughters, Joan and Beverley.
Doris lived with her daughter, Joan Muller, who is a resident of Modderfontein, for a number of years before she became a resident at Protea Old Age Home, nine years ago.
Joan said: “My mother was very dedicated to her family and loved to sew, knit and cook in her younger days.”
The birthday party was enjoyed by all who attended and Ani Venter, the general manager at Protea Old Age Home, congratulated Doris on reaching this special milestone.
