Wirral care home resident Phyllis Johnson’s 103rd birthday

A Wirral nursing home resident has celebrated her 103rd with friends and family at a special party.

Phyllis Johnson was born on August 28, 1920, and lived at Charlotte House nursing home in Bebington since 2015.

The home invited family and friends to join them for an afternoon of special celebrations.

When asked how she would like to celebrate the day Phyllis said she wanted a DJ with music, a magician and buffet.

Phyllis worked for the Ministry of Defence during the war in London before training as a teacher but decided it wasn’t for her. She went on to work for the local authority in the planning office.

She was married for 50 years to her late husband and they lived together in Mill Road, Bebington for 60 years.
