Daphne’s special day By Chris Valli
Daphne Rita Hayes has seen it all. Born on April 9, 1918, the Springlands Lifestyle Village resident celebrated her 104th birthday on Sunday with fellow residents and caregivers. One hundred and four years ago, the prime minister of New Zealand was one, William Massey, the founding leader of the Reform Party (second major political party) while Wellington held rugby’s Ranfurly Shield. Marlborough was celebrating over the end of World War 1 which was overshadowed by the Spanish flu pandemic reaching this part of the world. Sound familiar? However, sometimes in life and in the throes of a worldwide pandemic, it really is the little things in life. Continued on page 2. Springlands Lifestyle Village resident Daphne Hayes turned 104 at the weekend. Her advice to anyone? “Behave yourself. Be decent and no lies. You are being good if you are doing these - be a good person. I would never hurt anyone intentionally. If I did hurt someone, I would be repentant. Always apologise.”
