Ruth turns 100 years young

Ruth Clemens has celebrated her 100th birthday, surrounded by those she loves dearly.

Special guests including grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews joined her with guests travelled from Adelaide, Far North Queensland, Banora Point, Newcastle, Sydney and the South Coast to celebrate the milestone with this very special lady.

Ruth was born on 28 August 1925 to parents Pat and Mary Rawsthorne.

A sister to Ernie, Jack, Bill, Lelia, Clare, Allen, Joe, Evelyn, Stan, Mick, Viv, Neville, Dora and Pat, Ruth is the last surviving of her siblings.

Ruth married Ray Clemens and from that marriage came daughters Kath and Beth.

She's lived her life in Eugowra and Forbes, residing at the family farm "Glenisla" until the age of 91 years when she moved to Eugowra to her little home in Bowler Street.

At the age of 99, in January this year, Ruth moved into the Eugowra Multi Purpose Service where she has settled in as a permanent resident surrounded by love, nurturing and amazing care from all the wonderful staff of the MPS.

The family will be forever grateful for the love and attention given to Ruth.

Ruth celebrated her 100th birthday on the day with a beautiful party hosted by hospital staff with residents and staff of the Eugowra MPS, with the further celebrations on Saturday with family.

Here's cheers to a wonderful, well-lived 100 years Ruth.
