This week we were delighted to celebrate an extraordinary milestone at Abbeyfield Brecon as we honour Joan on the occasion of her 100th birthday.
Reaching a century is a truly remarkable achievement, and Joan’s life spans an incredible period of history, change, and resilience. Over the years, she has witnessed the world transform in ways few can imagine, carrying with her a lifetime of stories, experiences, and wisdom.
Since becoming part of the Abbeyfield Brecon community in 2022, Joan has been a valued and much-loved resident. She is known for her kindness, warm smile & quiet strength.
This special day gives us the opportunity to reflect not only on the many years lived, but on the relationships formed, memories shared, and moments of joy & sorrow along the way. We are honoured to celebrate this milestone together and to recognise a life so well lived.
From everyone at Abbeyfield Brecon, we wish Joan a very happy 100th birthday, with our warmest congratulations, best wishes, and heartfelt thanks for being such an important part of our community
