Flo Stratford celebrated her 100th birthday surrounded by family and friends at Sea Views Manor today.
Flo was born in Adelaide and moved to Melbourne in 1950 where she lived in Thornbury for 65 years, raising her two daughters.
Widowed for 38 years, Flo has kept busy by playing A Grade bowls until her early 90s.
She has collected stamps, has been involved in Probus, RSL and has enjoyed tripping off on bus holidays with friends, usually with a bowls match thrown in.
“I never thought I would get to this stage – it’s all a bit overwhelming,” Flo said.
Flo continues to be active in cards, bowls and bingo and has made many friends and is a happy and healthy member of the Sea Views community.
