A CUDWORTH care home resident who has lived through 20 different Prime Ministers and World War Two said the secret to a long life is being kind to others.
Eva Padgett was born in Ackworth on September 6, 1922 and celebrated her 101st birthday at Belle Green Care Home in Cudworth on Wednesday.
Described as a lovely, thoughtful and sensitive women, Eva told the Chronicle: “The days just keep on coming and you have to keep on going.
“I always try to look after myself and be kind.
“I’m not bothered about drinking whisky, just cups of tea.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
