THE MAIL wishes a very happy birthday to Nesta Davies, who celebrated her 100th birthday on Friday 12 February.
Nesta, who was born on 12 February 1916, worked for the Mountain Views Mail as a volunteer in the 1970s and early 80s, when the paper was set up.
On Friday, Nesta was surrounded by friends at Holmwood Aged Care in Healesville, where she received a bouquet of flowers, a cake, a letter from Queen Elizabeth and plenty of cards from well-wishers.
When asked what she thought of the party, Nesta told the Mail it was “wonderful”.
“I shall remember that until I’m 100 next!”
Congratulations, Nesta, from the team at the Mail.
