Wyoming resident Moyna Dunn celebrated her 100th birthday surrounded by her friends at a special craft morning tea on March 14.
With her love of knitting, Moyna has been attending craft group for 24 years after moving to the Central Coast from Sydney’s lower North Shore and beaches.
Moyna said she has no regrets, with some of her most beloved memories being those of her family, and looks back with fondness of her upbringing, spending time with her parents and brother Geoff.
Now with two daughters of her own, Moyna has four granddaughters, 13 great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.
Though she may not see her family as often as she would like, Moyna said she cherishes the time she gets to spend with them and believes that family is the real meaning of life and the secret to ageing with love and kindness.
Just one day shy of her special day on March 15, Moyna was celebrated by the team of Home Instead as their first Central Coast/Newcastle centenarian.
Home Instead caregiver, Mary Biddlecombe, has been caring for Moyna in her home once a week for the last two years.
“Moyna is such a joy to be around – she is so full of spirit, you would never think that she’s about to turn 100.
“Her positivity and cheeky nature is second to none.”
Moyna said she’s grateful to the caregivers at Home Instead who have looked after her for many years.
“All my caregivers are the most delightful, caring and thoughtful people,” she said.
