Nellie from Groomsport celebrates her 100th
Congratulations to Mrs Nellie Green of Groomsport, who celebrated her 100th birthday on 8 November.
Groomsport Parish, led by their Mothers’ Union group, celebrated with Nellie and her family in the parish hall when Bishop Harold, Lady Sylvia Herman, Cllr Alan Chambers were all present.
Nellie still attends meetings of the Mothers’ Union and the organisation was well represented with Diocesan President Roberta Rogers; All–Ireland Indoor Members Rep Margaret Crawford; Down Indoor Members Rep Hilda Arnold; Diocesan Secretary Margaret Conn and Branch Leader Heather Pentland, all joining the celebrations.
Nellie lives in her own home in the village and is regularly at the Parish Church. She was surprised to learn that she would get a birthday card every year from the Queen from now on and looks forward to that!
