Resident celebrates 106th birthday outside after two months of quarantine inside
Resident Violet England received a special birthday gift recently after she was allowed to celebrate her 106th birthday outside after being quarantined inside for the past two months.
Employees at Chez Nous Senior Citizens Home wheeled England outside on May 18 so she could enjoy the fresh air and spend time outside the walls of her room. England was born on May 18, 1914 and survived the Spanish Influenza, the Great Depression, the Second World War and — so far — the coronavirus. Since restrictions are still in place, none of England’s family were able to come to the care home to celebrate with their family matriarch. Instead, staff bought England a small cake with some balloons to celebrate.
