A beloved resident at Heffle Court Care Home in Heathfield known for her love of gardening and computer skills, has celebrated her 100th birthday.
Audrey Chamberlain, was born on 14th December 1923 in Northampton. To commemorate her special birthday, Audrey enjoyed a tea party with her family and friends.
During the Second World War, Audrey joined the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) as a shorthand typist and worked in bomber command.
Audrey married after the war and lived in London, Essex, Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells where she worked as a school secretary for many years. She has two daughters, four grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
When Audrey was in her mid-eighties, she joined a computer course and became very computer literate. She did her own online shopping, banking and enjoyed digital imagery well into her nineties.
To celebrate her 100th Birthday the home organised a tea party with a singer and a birthday cake. She also received a card from the King and Queen.
