Birthday celebrations at MHA Oak Manor as resident turns 80

There was plenty to celebrate at MHA Oak Manor as a resident celebrated her 80th birthday.

Susan Hawkins lives at the Shefford home and celebrated her big day with a private party at the coffee shop in the home.

She was joined by her two daughters and grandchildren who came with plenty of gifts.

Susan wore a ‘80 and fabulous’ sash and had a huge smile on her face throughout the day.

A birthday cake was brought into the home and was enjoyed by all.

MHA will also be celebrating its 80th birthday later on this year after the organisation was founded in October 1943.

Jane Dyson, senior carer said: “ Susan joined us in 2020 and is a very glamorous woman.

“Before moving into the home, she used to be a hairdresser and owned her own salon.

“Both her daughters are also hairdressers, and it was very nice to see the family enjoying the day together.

“Susan had a great time, she received plenty of lovely gifts and was very happy.

“There was plenty of laughter, everyone had a great time, and it was a very pleasant day.”
