FAMILY and friends gathered this month to celebrate the milestone birthday of a much-loved Cwmbran woman.
Kathleen Janet Wait marked her 100th birthday with a cake and festivities at Llanyravon Court Care Home in the Cwmbran area.
The former administrative worker for Whitehead Steel Works was married to her late husband, George, for 52 years and enjoyed cooking, knitting, sewing and holidays.
The centenarian - who has lived in Cwmbran all her life - has no children but is very close to her niece, Nerys .
She is described as having a “beautiful soprano singing voice” by care home staff and credits the secret of a long life to avoiding “pubbing” and smoking.
