Roberttown Care Home Celebrates Winnie’s 105th Birthday

4 February 2025

Residents and staff at Roberttown Care Home came together to celebrate a remarkable milestone as Winifred “Winnie” marked her 105th birthday on Saturday, 4th January 2025.

Winnie, who was born in Cleckheaton on 4th January 1920, has lived a long and fulfilling life. Her parents were publicans, and she grew up with one sister and two brothers. In 1949, she married her husband, with whom she shared a loving life until his passing in 2014. The couple lived in Cleckheaton and raised their son, Ian.

Throughout her life, Winnie worked as a shop assistant, a role she cherished due to her love of meeting new people and engaging in friendly conversation. Even today, she remains an avid chatterbox, enjoying music and watching TV.
To honour her incredible journey, Roberttown Care Home hosted a lively birthday party, where Winnie was surrounded by friends, staff, and fellow residents. She was full of smiles throughout the celebration and particularly enjoyed her birthday cake, which she generously shared with everyone present.

The celebrations continued on Saturday, 24th January 2025, when Winnie received a special surprise visit from local MP Kim Leadbeater. The MP presented Winnie with an official letter from King Charles III, a letter from the House of Commons congratulating her on her incredible life, and a beautiful birthday card.

Staff at Roberttown Care Home expressed their joy at celebrating such a special occasion with Winnie, describing her as a cherished member of their community. Winnie, in turn, was overwhelmed with gratitude for all the love and well-wishes she received.

As she continues to bring warmth and happiness to those around her, Winnie’s milestone birthday is a testament to a life well-lived and the power of community in making special moments truly unforgettable.
