Celebrating Peggy’s 100th Birthday at Deanston

Born and raised in Coatbridge, Peggy has always been a well-known and much-loved figure in the local community. Until the age of 99, Peggy lived independently in her own home before becoming part of the Deanston family. Known fondly for her years working as a Provident agent in Coatbridge, with such strong roots in the town, it was a fitting place to celebrate her 100th.

The celebrations started with decorating the home in style to mark Peggy’s incredible achievement, with flowers, balloons and music filling Deanston. A beautiful cake took pride of place, shared among guests as stories and memories of Peggy’s life were exchanged. Adding to the sense of occasion, we were honoured to welcome North Lanarkshire Depute Provost Bob Burgess and the area’s Deputy Lieutenant Alistair Peat, who both came to pay tribute to Peggy and present their best wishes.

Not only did the Provost and Deputy Lieutenant bring flowers and warm wishes, they also arrived with some special correspondence  – Peggy’s official birthday card from King Charles and Queen Camilla. The presentation of the card was a highlight of the day and a fitting tribute to such an extraordinary milestone.

Since arriving at Deanston, Peggy’s incredible spirit has quickly made her a hit with residents and staff alike. She’s full of good humour, always ready to get involved and have some fun, and rarely misses a chance to get everyone up dancing.

At Enhance Healthcare, we believe that moments like this are what life in our homes is all about; celebrating people’s stories, honouring their achievements, and making sure every milestone is marked with the love and respect it deserves.

Everyone at Deanston, and across Enhance, is proud to have celebrated with Peggy and wishes her a very happy 100th birthday, with many more joyful days to come.
