Happy 105th birthday Brin! Royal greetings for Rugby birthday girl
A Rugby woman received a birthday card from King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, in celebration of her 105th birthday yesterday (Tuesday).
Brin, born Ethel Brinda Goode, also met Rugby Mayor Simon Ward and enjoyed celebrating with her friends and family.
She worked in Coventry at the BTH and travelled by bus every day from Kenilworth.
Her granddaughter, Amanda Lane, said: “She met my grandfather there and married him at St George's Church in Coventry on September 27,1941.
"She was married for 41 years until she was widowed in 1983.
“My grandmother stayed in the same house for 50 years until she moved to Rugby in 2010 when she was 90. She lived independently until she was 98.”
Brin, who has dementia, now lives in Drovers House, Rugby, where she celebrated her special birthday.
Cllr Ward said: “It was a pleasure to meet Brin and her family and what a remarkable achievement to be celebrating her 105th birthday.”
