'A pint of John Smiths and laughing with my friend every day'
A Nottinghamshire resident has celebrated turning 104. Doll Smith, of Mansfield, commemorated the milestone on Friday, November 11, with a surprise party with friends and fellow residents at Beech Court.
Apart from receiving support from carers, Doll lives an independent life and is in fairly good health. When asked about her secret to living a long life, Doll said: "A pint of John Smiths and laughing with my friends every day."Doll spends a lot of her time in the community room, and also enjoys having her hair done weekly so she can continue to look fantastic for family visits.
Viv Thompson, ASSIST Support Officer for the authority, supports pensioners at Beech Court. She said: "We marked Doll’s 100 th and pulled out all of the stops and didn’t believe we would be here today for 104 – well, here we are. Doll used to live in the area in a lovely little bungalow but always said she felt lonely and didn’t know what was happening in the community.
"From attending her weekly Age Concern group to enjoying social events on Monday with her carers, she is non-stop. She is absolutely fantastic, her sense of humour, just everything."
